Enhance Performance Of AODV Using Clustering Approach in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Networking (MANET)

Wireless networks are becoming more and more popular because they are very easy to use. Mobile ad-hoc networks has become very important technology in last few years because wireless devices increases rapidly. Battery power is an important parameter because mobile devices are battery operated nowadays. Clustering in MANET has evolved as an imperative research domain that enhances system performance such as PDF, throughput and it increases system capacity in MANET in the presence of mobility and large number of mobile terminals. In clustering, mobile nodes are divided into different virtual groups. Election of cluster head is very much important in clustering. In the existing systems only one or two performance parameters are evaluated and in some systems only theoretical concepts are given. The proposed algorithm considers battery power parameter for election of cluster head. The proposed algorithm forms Cluster by selecting all the nodes which are nearer to CH in one Cluster. When CHs’ energy falls below threshold our algorithm elect the node which has highest energy as CH in Cluster.
