Abstract

Wireless mobile ad hoc networks consist of mobile nodes which can communicate with each other in a peer-to-peer fashion (over single hop or multiple hops) without any fixed infrastructure such as access point or base station. In a multi-hop ad hoc wireless network, which changes its topology dynamically, efficient resource allocation, energy management, routing and end-to-end throughput performance can be achieved through adaptive clustering of the mobile nodes. Impacts of clustering on radio resource management and protocol performance in a multihop ad hoc network are described, and a survey of the different clustering mechanisms is presented. A comparative performance analysis among the different clustering mechanisms based on the metrics such as cluster stability, load distribution, control signaling overhead, energy-awareness is performed.
