Performance of Clustering in Mobile Domain

Abstract

The topology of the ad hoc network has a significant impact on its performance. The dense topology has produce high interference and low capacity while the thinly scattered topology is Vulnerable to link failure. Some research work has been done on topology control in wireless networks. The existing topology control algorithms utilize either a purely centralized or purely distributed approach. In this work we have presented the traffic load analysis of the mobile node in the wireless network, by used of cluster concept. The wireless domain has been partitioned into different zones or clusters. Here we present analytically, the hops distance between random cluster heads. We have considered the minimum hops distance between the clusters and shown the traffic load at the gateway node, destination node. We considered that all the nodes randomly move. In this paper we have shown, how clustering affects on the performance with respect to throughput, delay, packet sent and packet received by simulation. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010.
