Clustering is a highly structured analysis for coordinating routing and improving network performance in MANET using different attributes and metrics. The collaboration and disjoint of mobile nodes from various clusters in the network (MANETs) with their movable nodes' behavior disrupts the network structure unstable, and this issue becomes more severe if the nodes are Cluster Heads (CH). In this article comprehensively investigates of clustering schemes and classifies them into various categories based on the Cluster Head (CH) selection criteria. It helps other researchers to understand how individual forms of clustering algorithms differ from one another. In this review article, the authors emphasize energy and mobility as pivotal criteria for CH selection and cluster maintenance. The article has used quality of service (QoS) indicators to evaluate the efficacy of different existing systems. In research carried out by the different systems, the authors have figured out some key QoS metric commutation and detected several critical factors influencing the effectiveness of clustering methods. Generally, each cluster in the network routing protocol of a MANET includes a CH and multiple neighbor nodes. The benefits of this approach are evident, including higher scalability and stability, reduced management overhead, and a decrease in the number of nodes participating in the same channel.
