Effect of connectivity and mobility on the performance of stability-based clustering algorithm for ad hoc wireless networks

A new distributed clustering algorithm for wireless ad hoc networks has been proposed. The main motivation in the proposed algorithm is improvement of stability and scalability simulation study has been conducted in a fully mobile network to investigate the performance of this algorithm. Also the effect of mobility and connectivity on the performance parameters has been evaluated. The comparison with other algorithms shows improvement of stability and scalability of the proposed algorithm in comparison with other algorithms.
