A Wireless Ad-Hoc Network (WANET) is a group of wireless mobile nodes which are self creating, self organizing and self administering. In such networks, selection of routing protocols is an important concern as it affects the performance of ad-hoc networks in terms of average end-to-end delay, reduced packet processing etc. This paper proposes a Cluster Based Logical Hierarchical Addressing scheme for Dynamic Source Routing protocol (CBHDSR) which enhances DSR. This scheme reduces the flooding of RREQ packets in the network by searching a direct path based on the addressing scheme which results in the reduced congestion.
