Abstract
Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) consists of a group of mobile nodes that communicate without any infrastructure. The dynamic nature and intrinsic complexity of MANET have made it a network with high topological variability. It is highly desirable to find methods that bring this complexity under control quickly. Controlling this complexity makes communication between nodes more durable, resource utilization more efficient, and the quality of required services from the environment higher. Since clustering is one of the most common methods for overcoming flat structures with many nodes, researchers have always looked for practical algorithms for clustering in MANET. Therefore, in this research, an attempt has been made to provide a method for clustering nodes in this environment to make the clusters more stable. To achieve more stable clusters, parameters for header selection are considered that reduce the need to change the header in each cluster. Also, in addition to creating new clusters if necessary, by constantly monitoring the performance of existing clusters, as far as possible, these clusters are reorganized and reconfigured to have more stable clusters in the environment. The simulation results show that creating more stable clusters in MANET leads to more efficient node resources and higher service quality than existing methods.
