If two or more mobile nodes come together for certain reason then these nodes can form a cluster based mobile ad-hoc network. In this algorithm we propose that security can be enhanced by using a better cluster formation and maintenance Algorithm. These nodes can communicate with each other after cluster formation and work together without any extra Infrastructure. For Cluster formation each node will calculate its individual weight. It will form a “Hello message” consisting of five fields. Cluster formation and also maintenance may be done through this “Hello message” only. When needed the process of cluster formation will be initiated by an individual node by initiating a “Hello message”. There will be claiming and collection period after this initial “Hello message”. If any other node is having more weight then that node will be chosen as cluster head other wise initiating node will continue. There will be four roles for a node (undecided, member, cluster head and Gateway). A node will change its role accordingly. Maintenance process covers the cluster joining process, cluster leaving process, changing the cluster head, cluster dis-integration, cluster re-formation and changing the gateways | | Keywords : | | |
