S-PAC : A Novel Hard Index Based Cluster Validation Technique for Ad Hoc Network
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: Gone are the days that transmission media are physically established to transmit the data from one location to another location. As of now, the transmission by air has been an indispensable step to conserve the resources and also to make the investments cost effective. The ad hoc network has come up as a solution provider to set up the communication process. The supportive mechanism like clustering will increase the efficiency of the network functionality which has been known very well. These clusters need to be fine-tuned on the process of maintaining an efficient network. Thus, this work proposes S-PAC as a validation technique to measure the cluster stability. This stability of clusters are measured in terms of their strength of inter and intra cluster communication. This strength factor decides the proper time to make the re-cluster event to occur in the ad hoc network. This work has been experimentally shown using OMNET++ simulator.
