Design and Implementation of Group Communication Function for Clustering Nodes in MANET
Mingyang Zhang · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2008
This paper proposes a scheme of Ad hoc network architecture which combines Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol and Adaptive On-demand Weighted(AOW) clustering algorithm. Using AOW algorithm, the cluster radius is strictly controlled within a hop and cluster-members do not need routing function, greatly reducing the redundancy of routing information. Each cluster-header implements the DSR Protocol, working as a router. The communication between nodes coming from different clusters relies on cluster-headers. Simulation result shows that the scheme has good performance. It has been implemented in Windows XP operating system.
