Abstract

To solve the expansibility problem of traditional flat routing protocols in ad hoc networks, an adaptive clustering routing transition protocol (ACRT) was proposed in this paper, by using the idea of adaptive clustering, routing transition and profits by the merits of passive clustering and gradual clustering. ACRT creates clusters adaptively by real-time apperceiving network scale which can solve the conflict between the expansibility of flat routing protocols and clustering overhead of clustering routing protocols. This mechanism takes the compatibility among different routing mechanisms into account to obtain high routing efficiency. ACRT can eliminate hangovers of flat routing protocol to reduce the occupancy of resources and storage cost by strict transition strategy. Simulation results show that ACRT has good expansibility and adaptive control action. ACRT is a correct and efficient routing mechanism.
