We propose a novel clustering algorithm in mobile ad hoc network in this paper. By selecting the node optimally in both time connectivity and space connectivity as the cluster head, the resulting clustering algorithm can provide a generic and stable cluster structure for the upper-layer protocols. For this clustering scheme, we give analytical model and evaluate the performance by simulation.
