Jin Wang · 中国邮电高校学报：英文版 · 2004
The original clustering algorithms in Mobile Ad hoc Network(MANET)are firstly analyzed in this paper.Based on which,an Improved Weighted Clustering Algorithm(IWCA)is proposed.Then,the principle and steps of ouralgorithm are explained in detail,and a comparison is made between the original algorithms and our improved method inthe aspects of average cluster number,topology stability,clusterhead load balance and network lifetime.The experimentalresults show that our improved algorithm has the best performance on average.
