Abstract

We propose the first robust self-stabilizing protocol building 1-hop clusters whose size is bounded, moreover the clusterhead selection is weight-based. The protocol reaches quickly (in 4 rounds) a safe configuration, where the safety property is satistfied: network nodes are partitionned into bounded clusters (clusterheads are not the most suitable nodes). During the convergence to a legitimate configuration, where more desired properties are guaranteed, the safety property is preserved, ensuring then the continuity functioning of hierarchical protocols.
