Analyze the Performance of Routing Protocols in Clustered Ad Hoc Networks: A Survey

A Mobile ad hoc network is a continuously self-forming, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected without wire. Routing protocols for Mobile ad hoc network are responsible for maintaining the routes in the network and have to ensure the reliable multi-hop communication. Many existing routing protocol approaches measures the performance of ad hoc networks. In ad hoc network faces some challenges like Qos, network congestion, data collision. Using clustering in MANET to avoid packet transmission delay, network congestion and packet loss, etc. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive study of the routing protocol performance in clustered ad hoc network.
