BSS: A BDI-Based Self-organizing Secure Clustering Scheme
Xin Chen · Microelectronics & Computer · 2007
MANET is a new kind of wireless network with great potentials in both military and civil applications, while clustering is essential to construct a large-scale MANET. But few of the existing clustering schemes concern with the security issue. Thus a new secure clustering scheme called BSS is presented in this paper. Based on the self-organizing feature of the MANET and the agent feature of the mobile node, this scheme introduces self-organizing design paradigms and agent design module. By analysis, this scheme which includes The-Second algorithm and Switch-Head algorithm improves the clustering security and guarantees the clustering performance.
