Efficiency Enhancement of Cluster Stability and Energy Consumption in the Clustering Algorithms

Ad Hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any centralized administration, in which individual nodes cooperate by forwarding packets to each other to allow nodes to communicate beyond direct wireless transmission range. The main focal point of the work is to enhance Weighted Clustering Algorithm (WCA) and other similar algorithms like Weighted based hierarchical clustering algorithm, An On-Demand Weighted Clustering Algorithm. The node degree is considered as an important weight metric in cluster head selection process. Regrettably this metric is not steady especially when it is considered separately at the node environment such as the neighbors’ location within the transmission range zone of this node. To overcome this inefficiency, two new models node degree aggregation model and range zone aggregation model are going to propose. Thereafter these two models are combined to gain their efficiencies. The new combined model motivates to generate and reformulate many node degree based formula given in literature and dealing with Quality of Clustering (QoS) as stability and load balancing clustering parameters. Then the models will show that it outperforms WCA in the in terms of cluster formation and stability.
