Cluster-based Status Aware routing Mechanism for MANETs to Extend the performance
International Journal For Innovative Engineering and Management Research · 2021
Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANETs) is a wireless infrastructure less network consist of mobile nodes distributed in radio communication area. The network allows its users to free to move i.e., enter anytime as well as leave the network anytime. Characteristics of network are cost effective, time effective, and self-forming. Application of network are military communication, disaster relief, and medical. Thus, communication information is very sensitive, and suitable protocol is needed to enable effective communication. One of the approaches to solve the effective communication is clustering. In this paper we propose a clustering in MANETs based on the current-status. The proposed work performance is evaluated with NS2 simulator, and results are compared with existing cluster-based mechanisms. The results show that the proposed work performance is good in terms of packet delivery, energy awareness, and delay.
