Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Novel Distributed Clustering Algorithm for Mobile Ad-hoc NetworksSahar Adabi, Sam Jabbehdari, Amirmasoud Rahmani, Sepideh AdabiThis paper proposed a new Distributed Score Based Clustering Algorithm (DSBCA) for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs).In MANETs, select suitable nodes in clusters as cluster heads are so important. The proposed Clustering Algorithm considers the Battery Remaining, Number of Neighbors, Number of Members, and Stability in order to calculate the node's score with a linear algorithm. After each node calculates its … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,114 accessesView PDFCite
