Abstract :
An adaptive mobile cluster protocol is presented, which sustains mobility perfectly and maintains the stability and robustness of network architecture. Furthermore, it is very easy to adopt overlapping clusters for cluster size optimization. Finally, simulation and numerical results show the conclusions
