Cluster-Based Cooperative Cache Deployment and Coded Delivery Strategy in C-V2X Networks

Algorithm 1

Cluster method.

Input: Velocity , position , and vehicle transmission radius .

Output: Cluster Head and Cluster Member.

// CH Selection and Cluster Formation

for each vehicle with do

  Vehicle calculate the score for itself and its neighbor according to (8)

  Vehicle with announce it as CH and broadcast and set ;

  whiledo

   if vehicle receives or beacon from then

    Vehicle unicasts to and set

    whiledo

     if vehicle receives then

       vehicle

      // change status to

     else

      // keep the status

     end

    end

   end

   if receives && then

     will unicasts to vehicle and add to

   end

  end

end

// Cluster Merging

for any two and do

  if && then

   The with smaller score will change its to and add all its member to

  end
