An advancement in energy efficient clustering algorithm using cluster coordinator-based CH election mechanism (CCCH)
Abstract
A mobile ad hoc network comprises several nodes, and each node can send messages (data) on demand without any established infrastructure. Mobile nodes dynamically enter and exit the network often, resulting in unstable network topology in MANET. As a result, maintaining a stable network becomes a challenging task. Path preservation, battery life, safety, dependability, and unexpected connection characteristics are the major issues in MANET. The network's quality of service (QoS) would be impaired as a result (QoS). The routing protocol is vital for MANETs' pathway detection and maintenance. The multicast routing technology may significantly increase the reliability of the MANET network. Clustering methods, which enable the structuring of networks into groups known as entities or clusters, are invariably employed to address such problems. This paper presents a cluster coordinator-based CH election mechanism (CCCH). The cluster coordinator (CC) is in charge of carrying out the entire operation and is the most important entity in this scenario. The cluster coordinator (CC), cluster head (CH), and cluster members (CM) are the three entities that make up the proposed model. Next to the cluster coordinator, the Cluster Head (CH) is the important serving node in each cluster. Each node in a cluster has a unique value for factors such as node mobility, degree, identity, and energy, among others. With the least amount of time and energy use, the combined proposed architecture successfully constructed reliable routing. A comparison study is done with the existing Optimal Route Selection for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (ORSMAN) [13] and ticket ID cluster manager protocol (TID-CMGR) [14] to assess the performance of the proposed CCCH. The comparison result proves that the proposed algorithms' performance is far better than the others in all evaluation metrics, such as energy consumption, packet delivery ratio (PDR), and the number of CH changes.
