Issues in Scalable Clustered Network Architecture for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks.

摘要: As a large-scale, high-density multi-hop network becomes desirable in many applications, there exists greater demand for scalable mobile ad hoc (MANET) architecture. Due to the increased route length between two end nodes MANET, challenge is limited scalability despite improved spatial diversity large area. Common most of existing approaches MANET link cluster architecture (LCA), where are logically partitioned into groups, called clusters. Clustering algorithms select master and maintain structure dynamically as move. Routing protocols utilize underlying routing location information an efficient manner. This paper discusses various issues clustered architectures MANETs. includes classification link-clustered architectures, overview clustering focusing on selection, survey cluster-based protocols.
