Abstract:
This paper proposes an autonomous distributed algorithm that can construct spatial structures for clustering in MANETs. Since the topology of a MANET changes frequently, a fast, light-weight, and autonomous clustering mechanism is required. However, existing autonomous clustering mechanisms are based on differential equations and thus demand a lot of calculations for generating the spatial structures that yield clustering. This paper proposes an autonomous clustering algorithm that is based on Huygens’ principle. The most remarkable characteristics of our proposal are calculation simplicity and fast convergence on the cluster structures. We verify the basic characteristics of the proposed algorithm.
