Abstract

Ad hoc wireless networks can be deployed quickly anywhere and, unlike mobile switching, do not rely on a fixed infrastructure, such as base stations. Hierarchical techniques have long been known to afford scalability in networks. In this paper, we describe a cluster-routing protocol based on a multilayer scheme in ad hoc networks. This paper assesses the scalability, with respect to increasing node count, of hierarchical routing in mobile ad hoc networks. This work provides scalable in ad hoc networks. We present detailed cluster head selection algorithm of ad hoc routing protocols. Our proposed protocol, called ‘Control cluster head Algorithm based on Hierarchical Cluster’ (CAHC) for ad hoc networks. The CAHC strategy takes advantage of a hierarchical architecture that is designed for scalable cluster head (CH) using new concept of control cluster head (CCH) scheme.
