Abstract

Cluster-based protocols establish a dynamic wireless mobile infrastructure to mimic the operation of the fixed infrastructure in cellular networks. A Clusterhead or a Virtual Base Station (VBS) is elected from a set of nominees to act as a temporary base station within its zone. In this paper, we describe briefly the Warning Energy Aware Clusterhead (WEAC) infrastructure formation protocol together with the Virtual Base Station On-demand (VBS-O) routing protocol. Also, we derive a mathematical model describing the VBS-O routing protocol and then derive mathematical equations to estimate the minimum power for to be used for transmission.
