Abstract

Cluster computing in ad hoc network draws special attention among the research community as it mandates the usage of single bandwidth for many receivers associated with the group/cluster. Ad hoc network operational environment has incited the adoption of cluster computing as it innately assists its formation. Cluster computing in ad hoc network has packets. Effective support of group communication is essential for most ad-hoc network applications. There are many applications where group communication is a crucial task. Group communication, both one-to-many and many-to-many, has become increasingly important in ad-hoc networks. Clustering in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) has many advantages as routing efficiency, transmission undergone a paradigm shift in the deployment of community centric applications like multiparty video conferencing, multiplayer online video games, online software patch update and online auction etc. In a cluster structure, the mobile nodes in a network are divided into several clusters. Every mobile management, information collection compared to the traditional networks. But the highly dynamic and unstable nature of MANETs makes it difficult for the cluster based routing protocols to divide a mobile network into clusters and determination of cluster heads for each cluster. The clustering node assigned a different function, such as cluster head,cluster gateway or cluster member. The cluster heads works in dual power mode at high transmission range for inter - cluster communication and low transmission range for intra- cluster communication. The main idea in this paper to have group members actively participate among the group members within cluster. Therefore reducing the communication and technique adopts any one of the following clustering approaches like Location based, Neighbor based, Power Based, Artificial Intelligence Based, Mobility based and Weight Based [2]. Each approach advocates its own formation of clusters and cluster head selection for the smooth transit of messages across clusters. A hierarchical routing is possible by clustering in which paths are recorded between clusters instead of computation load on the source. In this paper carries on by highlighting the stability and energy based weighted clustering between nodes. It increases the routes lifetime, thus decreasing the amount of routing control overhead [3]. The algorithm. The stability and energy is one of the main criteria for maintaining the cluster in the MANET. Thus the stable and energy is maximum maintain the cluster in the MANET using the proposed work. Finally the detailed simulation experiments and working flow of our clustering algorithm yields the better performance as compared with the existing heuristics in terms of network division (clusters), reaffiliation frequency, transmission range, energy consumption and mobility.
