Mobile agents for clustering and routing in mobile ad hoc networks

摘要: A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a dynamic wireless that can be formed without the need for any pre-existing infrastructure in which each node act as router. One of main challenges networks design robust routing algorithms adapt to frequent and randomly changing topology. Organizing nodes into manageable clusters reduce overhead provide more scalable solutions. In this paper we propose agent-based method clustering networks. All use two agents perform operations. Using method, reactive, proactive or hybrid schemes employed intra-cluster inter-cluster improve performance routing.
