Balanced clustering in mobile ad hoc networks using route cluster

Abstract

MANETS are a kind of Wireless ad hoc network that usually has a routable networking environment on top of a Link Layer ad hoc network. MANETs consist of a peer-to-peer, self-forming, self-healing network. This, in turn, increases the importance of bandwidth efficiency while maintaining tight requirements on energy consumption delay and jitter. Coordinated channel access protocols are in general not as well suited for non-uniform load distributions as uncoordinated channel access protocols due to the lack of on-demand dynamic channel allocation mechanisms that exist in infrastructure based coordinated protocols. In this paper, we present a Balanced Clustering in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using Extended and Weekly Connected Dominated Sets that are applicable to cluster based MANETs to address this problem. We present protocols that utilize these mechanisms to improve performance in terms of throughput, energy consumption and inter-packet delay variation Balanced cluster group creation and delay and packet are overcome by proposed algorithm also network lifetime is prolonged by sustaining the energy level of nodes by Extended and Weakly Connected Dominating Sets. Balanced clustering prevents data collisions. Previously single hop communication was possible but with the help of proposed algorithm two-hop communication is also made possible. Therefore the link becomes asynchronous so that which enables multiple transactions at a time, multiple transmissions is possible with limited number of clusters called balanced clustering.
