Abstract

Based on the willingness factor which considers relative mobility of nodes, a stable cluster protocol, which includes a stable clustering algorithm and a cluster maintenance scheme, is presented for mobile ad hoc networks. Simulation results show that compared with other cluster protocols, the proposed protocol effectively ensures the stability of the cluster architecture in highly-dynamic mobile environment because the willingness factor and cluster maintenance scheme take into account the mobility of every node and the relative mobility feature between nodes.
