Abstract

We propose a new clustering technique for large multihop mobile wireless networks. The cluster structure is controlled by the hop distance. Each cluster has one of the nodes in the cluster as the cluster head. The distances between a cluster head and the members of the cluster are within a predetermined maximum number of hops which can be one or more hops. The mean diameter of the clusters of the same size, the stability of the cluster structure, and the communication overhead for maintaining the cluster structure for the proposed clustering technique are studied by extensive simulations
