A Review of Clustering Algorithms as Applied in MANETs

Wireless technology is the one that provide the ability of roaming with diversity level of transmission power in mobile devices. Power availability is countered as the most important factor that constrains all of ad hoc wireless networks. The Absence of infrastructure in such networks provide fully adaptation of mobility of nodes since it prevent the usage of any fixed infrastructure such as power cable. Hence, the power consumption is a critical factor that has main effect on transmission range overall network lifetime. This reason increase the need of distributing the power consumption rate and the overall power of transmission must be minimized for each connection request and the congestions also must be minimized. A clustering technique is used to adapt the solution of energy consumption. According to that, this paper presents reviews of most clustering techniques that improves the power conservative in mobile ad hoc network and increase the battery usage in ad hoc wireless network devices and conserve the power energy consumption.
