Weightage based Secure Energy Efficient Clustering algorithm in MANET

The research in Mobile Ad-hoc Network remains winsome due to the crave to obtain better performance and scalability. Mobile ad hoc network is an unstructured self-forming radio mesh of moving nodes. There is no median approach for interaction of mobile nodes. In MANET nodes are mobile in nature and it became challenging to handle them while preserving the energy. Misbehavior, Mobility, Congestion are some factors that always degrade the performance of network. In this paper we propose a WSEEC (Weightage based Secure Energy Efficient Clustering) algorithmic approach towards energy efficient clustering and security of nodes. The aim of this algorithm is to build secure and energy efficient cluster head. Where rely value of each node is calculated to know the behavior of the node. The performance of proposed WSEEC algorithm is compared with WCA under five metric such as a Network life time, Energy consumption, throughput, delay and packet delivery ratio.
