Abstract
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a set of different mobile nodes that organises a temporary network in the absence of any fixed infrastructure. Due to the node power limit, prolonging the network lifetime is challenging. Clustering schemes offer a practical way of providing power efficiency when dealing with high density networks. In this paper we propose a developing routing algorithm to transmit packets in an energy-efficient manner. The proposed algorithm can significantly reduce both power consumption and interference. This can be achieved by optimising one of the cluster members as a cluster head child (selected by the cluster head). Cluster head child selection is based on the weight value of the cluster nodes. This cluster head child communicates with the cluster head and acts as a temporary base station within its cluster members (neighbours). It also inherits routing and cluster information from the cluster head, thus allowing the network to be more efficient, and reliable. Additionally, in the high dense region of the cluster the algorithm dynamically adjusts the transmission power of the cluster members within the range of the cluster head child.
