With only one exception so far (1), all these protocols are proactive, thus wasting bandwidth when their function is not currently needed. To reduce the signalling traffic load, reactive clustering may be employed.We have developed a clustering protocol named \u201cOn\u2010Demand Group Mobility\u2010Based Clustering\u201d (ODGMBC) (2), (3) which is reactive. Its goal is to build clusters as a basis for address autoconfiguration and hierarchical routing. In contrast to the protocol described in ref. (1), the design process especially addresses the notions of group mobility and of multi\u2010hop clusters in a MANET. As a result, ODGMBC maps varying physical node groups onto logical clusters. In this paper, ODGMBC is described. It was implemented for the ad hoc network simulator GloMoSim (4) and evaluated using several performance indicators. Simulation results are promising\nand show that ODGMBC leads to stable clusters. This stability is advantageous for autoconfiguration and routing mechansims to be employed in conjunction with the clustering algorithm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/17427370780000143","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,5]],"date-time":"2010-06-05T07:14:50Z","timestamp":1275722090000},"page":"81-90","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Reactive clustering in MANETs"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Curt","family":"Cramer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oliver","family":"Stanze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kilian","family":"Weniger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martina","family":"Zitterbart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"p_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/510726.510730"},{"key":"p_2","first-page":"81","volume-title":"MANETs.
