Research on Ad Hoc clustering algorithm

Ad Hoc network is a kind of multi-hop self-organizing network.The network is dynamic in nature due to the mobility of nodes.Many mobile Ad Hoc applications depend on the hierarchical structure,and clustering is the most popular method to impose a hierarchical structure in the mobile Ad Hoc networks.By studying existing clustering algorithm,a New Weight-based Clustering Algorithm(NWCA) is proposed.Analysis and simulation of the algorithm have been implemented and validity of the algorithm has been proved.
