A New Technique for Weight Based Clustering Algorithm in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

MANET has wide impact on research area from past two decades. Its structure less establishment and flexibility increases its growth of popularity. MANET is described as frequent change in network topology and restricted energy. Thus the effectiveness of MANET not only depends on control protocols but also on management of network topology and energy administration. Clustering in MANET is useful to make network more manageable. Many clustering protocols and algorithms are proposed to make network more stable and trusted. In this paper we depict the most prominent factor related to the MANET. The motive of this paper is to perform investigational study including: routing structure, storage method, overhead, cryptographic authentication and misbehavior of nodes to clearly address relevant problem in cluster based routing protocol and provide a suitable solution by proposing a trusted and efficient clustering algorithm.
