Abstract

This mobility metric is subsequently used as a basis for cluster formation which can be used for improving the scalability of services such as routing, network management and security etc. A novel mobility metric for mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) was presented in this paper that is based on the associativity ticks of the nodes. Based on the use of this mobility metric for selection of clusterheads, a distributed clustering algorithm named MACA was proposed. The simulation results show that MACA outperforms the existing ones and is also tunable to different kinds of network conditions.
