An ad-hoc network is formed by a collection ofmobile nodes without any centralized access point or existinginfrastructure. Communication between mobile nodes requiresrouting over the multiple-hop wireless path. Since the mobilenodes could be of high mobility, the effective and adaptiverouting protocol must have on-going detail of the topologyinformation. However, it wastes limited bandwidth to keeprouting information up-to-date and reliable. Thus, a crucialalgorithm design objective to achieve routing responsivenessand updating efficiency is the minimization of reaction tomobility.This paper proposes an efficiently repairable routing protocol,called as gravitational cluster routing (GCR) protocol. It isbased on a stable cluster structure that covers dense areas toincrease stability, and avoids articulate nodes in the cluster toconnect strongly and adopts unicast to minimize reaction tomobility. The active routing paths of GCR can be maintainedlocally by individual stable clusters and globally by quantifyingthe corresponding repairable levels to satisfy the distinctdemand parameters of QoS. These mechanisms improve thestability of active connections.
