Abstract

Using clusters in MANETs is common in routing and content delivery situations. The increase use of smartphones able to peer-to-peer communication, justifies cluster algorithms adapted to this kind of devices use cases. In a tourist mobility scenario, group behaviour is expected. We propose a cluster algorithm which uses mobility pattern of this scenario. Unlike other approaches that use mobility information on clusters creation only, MCFA-GLUE is mobile aware in maintenance phase. Our cluster algorithm provides cluster merge support an re-affiliation based on node mobility information history.
