A MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc Network) is a multi-hop routing protocol formed by a collection without the intervention of infrastructure. So the MANET also depended on the property as like variable energy, high degree of mobility, location environments of nodes etc. In recently years, the various clustering technique and routing algorithm would have proposed for improving the energy efficiency. One of the popular approach methods, It could make a cluster-based routing algorithm using in MANET. However, the proposed clustering method results remain the problems in high energy consumption on the cluster head node management. To solve the problems, many routing scheme have been presented to provide that Dynamic clustering is a method of resolving such a problem by distributing energy consumption through the re-selected head node [1][5]. But the proposed dynamic clustering has a problem when cluster head node is re-selected for energy consumption. These proposed an algorithm were presented about composition of cluster that was being node clustering algorithm process. However, it could not provide a solution that is also improving energy efficiency and making energy consumption to reduce through reconstruction of cluster. So, in this paper, we propose an algorithm techniques which is TICC (Time Interval Clustering Control) based on energy value in property of each node for solving cluster problem. It provides improving cluster energy efficiency how can being node manage to order each node's energy level. TICC is clustering method. It has shown that Node's energy efficiency and life time are improved in MANET.
