An Overlay Network Node Clustering Model Research of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Yang An Zhang · Microcomputer Information · 2009
A promising research direction in networking is to exploit the synergy between p2p overlay and Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) to design better protocols for MANETs. Overlay network topology optimization is one of the key issues. Topology -aware overlay node clustering model for MANETs was proposed. A greedy heuristic algorithm for the problem was presented. To avoid single-point bottleneck failures, the algorithm guaranteed the relative stability of overlay network topology. Simulation results show that in the condition of not adding to the expenses, the algorithm could ensure the maximality of weight of OA, and a topology -aware clustering .So the scheme can be potentially used in designing efficient routing algorithms
