A Clustering approach in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks Routing

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a self-configuring infrastructure less network of mobile devices connected by wireless. MANETs are restricted to a local area of wireless devices, while others may be connected to the Internet. Cluster techniques used to grouping the mobile nodes to sending data simultaneously to the each group. Each and every group have their cluster header that storing information about the receiving and sending node information. Cluster approach is proved to be more efficient for solving the scalability problem in wireless network. In this paper, we propose cluster technique in mobile ad hoc network (CTMAN), which composed of PSR, DSDV and Dijkstra’s algorithm. It speedup the performance and maintains the data loss between the source node to destination node for large area networks. Keywords— DSDV, Cluster, CTMAN, MANET, PSR, PRN, Dijkstra’s algorithm.
