Dynamic Local Peer Group Organizations for Vechicle Communications

This paper addresses the design of dynamic local peer group (LPG) organizations and protocols for ad hoc peer-to-peer networking among neighboring vehicles to support vehicle communications. We first outline the dynamic LPG framework to organize vehicles that have frequently-changing neighbors and have no inherent relationships with one another. We then describe two dynamic LPG organization schemes and protocols to form and maintain the dynamic LPG of vehicles
