A Management of Cluster using Secondary Leader in MANET

초록

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a network architecture, which is deployed temporarily and rapidly in emergency or war without fixed mobile infrastructures. All communications between network entities are carried in ad-hoc networks over the wireless medium. Due to the radio communications being extremely vulnerable to propagation impairments, connectivity between network nodes is not guaranteed. Therefore, previously developed routing algorithms in wired networks cannot be used. And many new algorithms have been undergone. This study introduces the Secondary Leader approach to the cluster based routing protocol (CBRP) that reduces the overhead from selecting new cluster leader.
