To solve the scalability issue of ad hoc network, a new cluster maintenance protocol is proposed. Clusters may change dynamically, reflecting the mobility of the underlying networ...
Abstract-- Many clustering protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been proposed in the literature. With only one exception so far [1], all these protocols are proactive...
