Efficient Cluster Head Selection Algorithm for MANET

الملخص EN

In mobile ad hoc network (MANET) cluster head selection is considered a gigantic challenge.

In wireless sensor network LEACH protocol can be used to select cluster head on the bases of energy, but it is still a dispute in mobil ad hoc networks and especially when nodes are itinerant.

In this paper we proposed an efficient cluster head selection algorithm (ECHSA), for selection of the cluster head efficiently in Mobile ad hoc networks.

We evaluate our proposed algorithm through simulation in OMNet++ as well as on test bed; we experience the result according to our assumption.

For further evaluation we also compare our proposed protocol with several other protocols like LEACH-C and consequences show perfection.
