A Novel Factor for Robust Clustering in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Ki-Il KIM Sang-Ha KIM Publication IEICE TRANSACTIONS on Communications Vol.E89-B No.4 pp.1436-1439 Publication Date: 2006/04/01 Online ISSN: 1745-1345 DOI: 10.1093/ietcom/e89-b.4.1436 Print ISSN: 0916-8516 Type of Manuscript: LETTER Category: Network Keyword: cluster, stability, MANET, Full Text: PDF(140.5KB)>>
Summary: This letter presents a new stable clustering architecture to reduce the number of re-clustering in MANET. Since some existing stable clustering schemes based on measured metric have certain deficiency in negative effect caused by nodes moving fast or causing ping pong effect, we introduce average connection time as major parameter to form as well as maintain cluster structure over the entire networks. From simulation results it is clear that average connection time is more adequate parameter for stable cluster architecture than other measured factors, resulting in fewer number of cluster changes than previous schemes. | |||||
