Efficient Passive Clustering and Gateway Selection in MANETs

Abstract

for extending the logistic support to the conference. Prof. De Sarkar is also a member of the Steering Committee of IWDC. Last but not the least, we also thank Prof. Sukumar Ghosh, who is heading the IWDC Steering Committee, for his guidance and his continuous support and advice.No academic meeting can achieve its desired end without the contributions of the authors, reviewers, and the participants. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all of them for making the event a success. We sincerely hope that this event will be a valuable addition to the Distributed Computing research endeavor.

“…Kumar et.al [6] have explored the issues of lifetime in wireless sensor networks. Shiva Prakash et.al have proposed an Intelligent Gateway Selection Heuristic which eliminates redundant gateways during Passive Clustering and reduce the number of rebroadcasts and have studied a number of peculiar cases of network topology, which are frequent in a mobile environment [7], [8]. Shiva Prakash et.al have proposed efficient topology management in [9], [10] and global incremental power models for life maximization have been presented in [11], [12].…”
