Abstract

Clustering solution is the most widely used layer-structure in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) nowadays. This paper presents a concise trust-related and energy-concerned distributed MANET clustering protocol-TEDMC, which selects cluster heads according to their trust values and residual energy. TEDMC effectively extends the message of HELLO and neednÂ¿t any assumptions about node distribution or location-awareness. Simulation results show that TEDMC can effectively resist malicious nodes as well as avoid the instability caused by energy deficiency. Which validates the good distributing character of cluster heads with TEDMC protocol environments.
