A delay time analysis for multi-hop V2V communications over a linear VANET

Due to their highly dynamic nature, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are occasionally found difficult for their parameter optimization. Some attempts have been made to challenge the difficulty by modeling VANETs mathematically to predict parameter values successfully such as average cluster size and the lifetime of a path. Nevertheless, there have been no systematic approaches to analyze both node mobility and communication performances over a VANET by investigating its microspopic conditions.
