Real-time data transmission, especially video delivery over high-speed networks have very stringent constraints in terms of network connectivity and offered data rate. However, in high-speed vehicular networks, direct communication between vehicles and road side units (RSU) often breaks down, resulting in loss of information. On the other hand, a peer-to-peer based multihop network topology is not sufficient for efficient data communication due to large packet loss and delay. In this paper, a novel `moving cluster multiple forward' (MCMF) architecture is proposed and investigated for efficient real-time data communication in high speed vehicular networks. MCMF involves novel aspects in relation to the formation of clusters and managing the communication between groups of vehicles and introduction of a hierarchical multiple forwarding mechanism which enables communication between any vehicle and RSU via other vehicles. Additionally, a novel protocol called `alternate cluster resource reuse' (ACRR) is proposed and its detailed communication mechanism is presented. Simulation tests show how the use of MCMF and the ACRR protocol results in superior bit-rate performance--around three times that obtained in peer-to-peer multihop communications and twice that of MCMF with no ACRR protocol. Further, the average delay in MCMF-based transmissions from vehicle to RSU is around 50 % that of a peer-to-peer multihop communication mechanism. MCMF/ACRR has the potential to support multimedia traffic according to the IEEE 802.11p standard, even with a sparse investment in the infrastructure.
