A Hybird Clustering Routing Algorithm in Ad Hoc Networks

A hybrid routing algorithm based on clustering structure in Ad Hoc Networks is proposed.The algorithm takes full advantage of the characteristics of the cluster structure,which uses proactive routing in each cluster and adopts reactive routing among different clusters.The combination of routing algorithm and clustering algorithm improves the efficiency of the network route discovery effectively.Comparing the simulation result with AODV and DSR,results shows that this algorithm has a better performance in control overload,routing speed,bandwidth and robustness.
