Clustering is an important concept for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), because clustering makes it possible to guarantee basic levels of system performance, such as throughput, delay and also security issues such as availability, in the presence of both m.obility and large number mobile terminals. Many clustering protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been proposed in the literature. To reduce the signaling traffic load, reactive clustering may be employed. A large variety of approaches for ad hoc clustering have been presented, we have developed a clustering protocol named "On-Demand Group Mobility-Based Clustering with ability definition guest node" (ODGM/GN), which is reactive. The design process especially addresses the notion of group mobility in a MANET. As a result, ODGM/GN maps varying physical node groups onto logical clusters. In this paper, we have defined a GUEST NODE and a cluster level, and then the performance of the algorithm in the presence of nodes mobility is evaluated. The simulation results shows 5 % error level for the proposed approach.
