Application of Clustering Methods in MANET

The article is devoted to a review of possible methods for applying clustering algorithms to solve problems in routing networks of MANET. A detailed review of the problems of the MANET networks was carried out, with the possibility of solving them using clustering based on neural networks. Specific implementations of cluster algorithms for application in routing based on a multi-criteria selection of network parameters are proposed. These algorithms are possible for use in classical routing protocols such as AODV and OLSR. A mathematical model of the proposed algorithm and the results of work when implemented in existing routing protocols are presented.
