A mobility-based clustering approach to support mobility management and multicast routing in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks

In our proposed structure, mobile nodes are organized into nonoverlapping clusters which have adaptive variable-sizes according to their respective mobility. The mobility-based clustering (MBC) approach we are proposing uses a combination of both physical and logical partitions of the network (i.e. geographic proximity and functional relation between nodes, such as mobility pattern etc.) Copyright  2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
