- suggestion on MANET clustering techniques
Hi all,
I’d like to some research on MANET clustering. I’ve read some papers where different techniques were used to cluster a MANET and elect cluster heads, for example, node id, node degree, power, hop count etc. i was wondering whether cluster heads could be elected based on mobility?—a node with least mobility in comparisons to it’s neighboring nodes will be selected as the clusterhead and then the cluster will be formed. is it viable to elect the clusterhead first and then form the cluster ?? after a clusterhead is elected a multihop size restricted cluster will be formed.
please give me suggestions and opinions.
Yes, electing a cluster head based on mobility and remaining battery power will be a good option. You may use voronoi diagram based optimization techniques for electing the cluster head and you may use classical clustering techniques to cluster the nodes.
what other aspects should i consider? which simulator could be best — ns-2, glomosim or qualnet?
