Clustering Effects on Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks Performances
  A new era is dawning for wireless mobile ad hoc networks where communication will be done using a group of mobile devices called cluster, hence clustered network. In a clustered network, protocols used by these mobile devices are different from those used in a wired network; which helps to save computation time and resources efficiently. This paper focuses on Cluster-Based Routing Protocol and Dynamic Source Routing. The results presented in this paper illustrates the implementation of Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector routing protocol for enhancing mobile nodes performance and lifetime in a clustered network and to demonstrate how this routing protocol results in time efficient and resource saving in wireless mobile ad hoc networks.
