Trishna Panse, Prashant Panse · Research Square · 2023
Abstract Node heterogeneity such as different transmission range, battery backup and mobility leads to several issues for the network. To concentrate on these issues, we need some alternatives which are able to adapt to different characteristics and make decisions for smooth functioning. In a few years, numerous efforts have been dedicated to clustering methods for wireless mobile ad-hoc networks in order to results efficient and correct routing procedures. In the context of clustering devices of a cluster nominated as cluster member, cluster head and cluster gateway on the basis of different roles. Clustering leads to cluster-head and gateway selection overhead that requires focusing by researchers. The motive of the work is to study and analyze effects of heterogeneity properties. With this, an efficient gateway selection method is also proposed. The result of the proposed method is evaluated by considering several network performance parameters such as routing overhead, throughput, network lifetime.
