A mobility-based framework for adaptive clustering in wireless ad hoc networks.

This paper presents a novel framework for dynamically organizing mobile nodes in wireless ad hoc networks into clusters in which the probability of path availability can be bounded. The purpose of the (α, t) cluster is to help minimize the far-reaching effects of topological changes while balancing...
