2. Outline • Introduction • Clustering Scheme Overview • Classifying Clustering Schemes • DS-based clustering • Wu’s CDS Algorithm • Chen’s WCDS Algorithm • Summary of DS-based Clustering

3. Introduction • Dynamic routing is the most important issue in MANETs • A flat structure encounters scalability problem • Proactive routing protocols is O(n^2) • Reactive routing sheme: • RREQ flooding over the whole network • Route setup delay • A hierarchical architecture

4. Clustering Scheme Overview • Virtual group • Clusterhead • a local coordinator, performing intra-cluster transmission arrangement, data forwarding • Clustergateway • non-clusterhead node with inter-cluster links access neighboring clusters, forward information between clusters • Clustermember • ordinary node, non-clusterhead node without any inter-cluster links

6. Three Benefits • spatial reuse of resources to increase the system capacity • the same frequency or code set • routing • The generation and spreading of routing information can be restricted in the set of clusterheads and clustergateways • an ad hoc network appear smaller and more stable in the view of each mobile terminal • when a mobile node changes its attaching cluster, only nodes residing in the corresponding clusters need to update the information

7. The cost of clustering (1/3) • Explicit control message for clustering • Clustering requires explicit clustering-related information exchanged between node pairs • Ripple effect of re-clustering • The re-election of a single clusterhead may affect the cluster structure of many other clusters and completely alter the cluster topology over the whole network

8. The cost of clustering (2/3) • Stationary assumption for cluster formation • Assume that mobile nodes keep static when cluster formation is in progress • Constant Computation round • Computation round is the number of rounds that a cluster formation procedure

9. The cost of clustering (3/3) • Communication complexity • The total amount of clustering-related message exchanged for the cluster formation

10. Classifying Clustering Schemes(1/3) • DS-based clustering • Finding a (weakly) connected dominating set to reduce the number of nodes participating in route search or routing table maintenance • Low-maintenance clustering • Providing a cluster infrastructure for upper layer applications with minimized clustering-related maintenance cost

11. Classifying Clustering Schemes(2/3) • Mobility-aware clustering • Utilizing mobile nodes’ mobility behavior for cluster construction and maintenance and assigning mobile nodes with low relative speed to the same cluster to tighten the connection in such a cluster • Energy-efficient clustering • Avoiding unnecessary energy consumption or balancing energy consumption for mobile nodes in order to prolong the lifetime of mobile terminals and a network

12. Classifying Clustering Schemes(3/3) • Load-balancing clustering • Distributing the workload of a network more evenly into clusters by limiting the number of mobile nodes in each cluster in a defined range • Combined-metrics-based clustering • Considering multiple metrics in cluster configuration, including node degree, mobility, battery energy, cluster size

13. DS-based clustering • A dominating set of a graph G= (V, E) is a vertex subset S⊆V , such that every vertex v∈V is either in S or adjacent to a vertex of S • A connected dominating set (CDS) of a graph G is a dominating set whose induced graph is connected

15. DS-based clustering(cont.) • Table-driven routing • Only codes in the CDS are required to construct and maintain the routing tables • On-demand routing • The route search space is limited to the CDS • To keep a DS connected and with approximately minimum size is not a trivial task

16. DS-based clustering AlgorithmWu’s CDS Algorithm • Marking Process • To find CDS • Prune redundant nodes from CDS • To reduce the size of CDS

17. Marking Process Define a network as a graph G = (V,E) • Initially, all nodes are unmarked • Every v exchanges its N(v) with all its neighbors • Mark v if there exists 2 unconnected neighbors

18. Example A B C E Open neighbors set of all nodes: N(A) = {B,D} N(B) = {A,C,D} N(C) = {B, E} N(D) = {A, B} N(E) = {C} D After step 2: A: N(B), N(D) B: N(A), N(C), N(D) C: N(B), N(E) D: N(A), N(B) E: N(C)

19. Prune redundant nodes from CDS • Assign a distinct id, id(v) to each vertex v in G • Define N[v] as a closed neighbor set of v

20. Prune redundant nodes from CDS • Rule 1: Considers two vertices v and u in G’. If N[v] N[u] in G, and id(v) < id(u),change the marker of v to F if node v is marded

21. Prune redundant nodes from CDS • Rule 2: Assume u and w are two marked neighbors of marked vertex v in G’. If N(v) N(u) U N(w) in G and id(v) = min{id(v), id(u), id(w)}, then unmark v.

22. DS-based clustering AlgorithmChen’s WCDS Algorithm • Reduce the number of clusters by relaxing the connectivity requirement • The subgraph weakly induced by S(S⊆V) is the graph <S>w=(N [S], E ∩ (N [S]×S)). • <S>w includes the vertices in S and all of their neighbors as vertex set • The edges of <S>w are all edges of G which have at least one end point in S

23. Weakly induced subgraph (example) Vertex set: black vertices Edge set: black lines

24. Weakly-connected dominating set • A vertex subset S is a weakly-connected dominating set (WCDS), if S is a dominating set and <S>w is connected

25. Algorithms for finding small WCDS • Algorithm I and II: Two centralized algorithms • Algorithm III and IV: Distributed Implementations of Algorithm I and II • Algorithm V: Distributed Asynchronous Approach

26. Chen’s WCDS Algo I (overview) • Given a graph G=(V,E), each vertex is associated with a color (white, gray, or black) • All vertices are initially colored white • In each iteration, the algorithm color a white or gray vertex black and all its neighboring white vertices gray • At the end, the black vertices form a weakly-connected dominating set

27. Term: piece • Piece refers to a particular substructure of the graph • A white piece is simply a white vertex • A black piece contains a maximal set of black vertices whose weakly induced subgraph is connected plus any adjacent gray vertices The pieces are indicated by dotted regions

28. Term: improvement • The improvement of a (non-black) vertex u is the number of pieces that would be merged into a single black piece if u were to be dyed black • In last example, dying vertex 5 black would merge 4 piece, while dying vertex 4 would merge 3 pieces

29. Chen’s WCDS Algo I(detail) • In each iteration, the algorithm choose a single white or gray vertex to dye black • The vertex is chosen greedily: a vertex with maximum improvement is chosen • Until there is only one piece left
