Abstract

This paper evaluates the stability of the terminal group for he inter-vehicle communication (IVC) network with an autonomous relay access scheme. Some stability criterions such as updating rate, terminal group convergence probability and total path average holding time have been conducted by computer simulation. As the results, dynamic moving of the terminal is the serious problem that can degrade the stability of the terminal group and directly affect to overall performance of the IVC network.
