Thus, making multi-hop communication and as well as contention for channel access more difficult. QoS in VANETs is measured in terms of throughput, connection duration and packet loss. In this paper, UDP and TCP protocols are used as traffic to satisfy bandwidth requirement while optimizing network throughput for providing QoS using clustering approach. The results obtained through NCTUns simulator are used for analysis of throughput for both UDP and TCP traffics. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. %Z cited By 6; Conference of 5th FTRA International Conference on Computer Science and its Applications, CSA 2013 ; Conference Date: 18 December 2013 Through 21 December 2013; Conference Code:104420
