Designing a Dynamic Topology (DHT) for Cluster Head Selection in Mobile Adhoc Network

The mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are a collection of dynamic nodes facilitating communication from source to destination either using single or multi – hop forwarding mechanism. The nodes within the network possess energy constraints for which an effective clustering mechanism is used for facilitating communication between the nodes within and outside the clusters by designing a dynamic hybrid topology (DHT). The paper concentrates on clustering mechanism (EBCH) for reducing the energy consumption during communication from source to destination and number of parameters where analyzed in order to determine the selection of cluster head based on the energy consumption because this is directly related to the lifetime of the network. The implementation was carried out using MATLAB which offered an environment for performing simulation. The obtained results on comparison with conventional ENB and CPN algorithm improved the operations of cluster computation in ad hoc environments effectively in relation to the cluster head selection and reduced energy consumption.
