Topology Control by Transmission Range Adjustment Protocol for Clustered Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Algorithm 2

Pseudo code for non-volunteer cluster head selection.

Begin

 ……

Let 𝑖 = current_head//volunteer or non-volunteer

Compute max_wt = max {WT(𝑗) where 𝑗∈member(𝑖)}

Set next_head = 𝑣 where WT(𝑣)= max_wt

Head (𝑖) = next_head

For (every 𝑗∈member(𝑖) other than next_head)

{

If dist (next_head, 𝑗) ⟨=next_head_trangeThen

{

Head (𝑗) = next_head //hand off

Else

Reaffiliate 𝑗 to other head within range //Reaffiliation

Else

Select 𝑗as volunteer head //Reelection

}

End if

}

End for
