Stable and Flexible Weight based Clustering Algorithm in Mobile Ad hoc Networks

Ad hoc networks are wireless, infrastructure less, multi-hop, dynamic network established by a collection of mobile nodes which provides significant features to the modern communication technologies and services. In ad-hoc networks, clustering is an important and familiar technique to divide the large network into several sub networks. According to the dynamic topology the clustering is considers as complicated process in ad hoc networks. In this paper, we have concentrated to design a new weight based clustering algorithm to improve the performance in this wireless technology. Simulation experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of our algorithm in the transmission range, number of nodes and maximum displacement. Results are shown that our algorithm performs better than existing g algorithms. Keywords—Ad hoc networks, Clustering, Clustering
