The hybrid structure of a VANET distinguishes it from a MANET. A vehicle-to-vehicle network, or VANET, enables automobiles to exchange data with one another. Ad hoc networks are defined as those that have not yet established a permanent infrastructure, unlike association-based networks, which rely on things like routers and access points. Additionally, the majority of the VANET clustering algorithms were evolved from the earlier MANET clustering algorithms, such as the Mobility Based Metric for Clustering (MOBIC) in, and the Weighted Clustering Algorithm (WCA) in. In a VANET, vehicles communicate with each other and fixed infrastructure via vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), respectively. Clustering the vehicles can address problems with scalability, broadcast storms, hidden terminal problems, and quality of service that VANETs experience because of the high mobility of the vehicles.
