An improved clustering algorithm based on MANET network

MANET as a new type of mobile wireless networks, its unique characteristics increase the difficulty of the management, in particular, the movement of nodes require more effective management of topology, which nearly pose a challenge. Thus, with the analysis of characteristic and application requirements of the ad hoc network, a new type of clustering algorithm is proposed based on energy which mainly depends on the number of nodes to cluster the network. The simulation shows that the delay of routing algorithm is low, control spending is less and so on.
