E-CLARITY: Edge-assisted cluster management architecture for energy-aware vehicular communications in NR-V2X networks
This work presents a standards-compliant framework that combines SDN coordination with RSU edge assistance to optimize cluster management in dynamic NR-V2X Mode 2 vehicular networks.
The proposed approach addresses key challenges in vehicular communications, including cluster stability, energy consumption, communication reliability, and end-to-end latency, particularly in dense and realistic urban scenarios.
The evaluation demonstrates improved cluster stability, reduced vehicular power consumption, high packet delivery reliability, and bounded end-to-end latency.

I hope this work will be of interest to researchers working on NR-V2X, IoV, edge computing, vehicular networks, and intelligent transportation systems. Comments and feedback are welcome.
I am an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Sfax, Tunisia, and a researcher affiliated with the Computer Embedded Systems (CES) laboratory. My research lies at the intersection of distributed systems, dynamic networks, and embedded architectures.
My work focuses on the design and performance evaluation of intelligent communication and routing mechanisms for constrained and highly dynamic environments such as Internet of Vehicles (IoV), VANETs, and Internet of Things (IoT) systems. I am particularly interested in agent-based and hybrid routing strategies, scalability challenges, latency-aware communication, and secure data exchange in critical IoT applications, including e-health.
I have published in international Q1 and Q2 journals, including IEEE Access and Wireless Personal Communications, and actively contribute to the scientific community as a reviewer for Springer Nature journals. I supervise PhD and Master's students and am engaged in developing research-driven teaching in systems, networks, and cybersecurity.
I am interested in research collaborations, special issues, and interdisciplinary projects related to intelligent networking, secure distributed systems, and next-generation IoT architectures.
