Analytical Study of Cluster Based Routing Protocols in MANET

There are number of cluster based routing algorithms in mobile ad hoc networks. Since ad hoc networks are not accompanied by fixed access points, efficient routing is a must for such networks. Clustering approach is applied in mobile ad hoc network because clusters are more easily manageable and are more viable. It consists of segregating the given network into several reasonable clusters by using a clustering algorithm. By performing clustering we elect a worthy node from the cluster as the cluster head in such a way that we strive to reduce the management overheads and thus increasing the efficiency of routing. As for the fact that nodes in mobile ad hoc network have frequent host change and frequent topology change routing plays an important role for maintenance and backup mechanism to stabilize network performance. This paper aims to review the previous research papers and provide a survey on the various cluster based routing protocols in mobile ad hoc network. This paper presents analytical study of cluster based routing algorithms from literature.
