An Energy Balanced Clustering Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

摘要: We propose an energy balanced clustering algorithm, which considers several important parameters integrally, including node's relative velocity, distance, remaining and identification. The algorithm uses a filter mechanism to elect the most appropriate nodes be cluster heads, breaks through limitation of setting weight manually according network state in based algorithm; it also introduces head rotation balance consumption among all prevents some nodes' exhausted too early. Simulation results show that not only improves clusters stability but prolongs lifetime significantly.
