A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a dynamically changing,
infrastructure less network of wireless and mobile nodes.
Features :
 Dynamic Topology : Nodes are mobile & are independent of
one another.
 Limited Bandwidth : Available bandwidth of the links is
limited, leading to multi-hop transmission of data.
 Limited Power : Due to the lack of any fixed infrastructure,
available power is low.
Applications:
 Military Operations
 Search & Rescue
 Disaster Mitigation

 Clustering is a process that divides the network into
interconnected sub-structures called clusters.
 Each cluster has a cluster-head as a coordinator within the
sub-structure, which acts as a medium for data transfer
between the nodes.
 Cluster heads communicate with each other by using
gateway nodes.
 The Gateway node has two or more cluster heads as its
neighbors or— when the clusters are disjoint—at least one
cluster head and another gateway node.

• A node elects itself as the cluster head if
it has the lowest/highest ID in its
neighborhood. (Lowest-Id Heuristic)

• The node, which has the most neighbor
nodes, is elected as the cluster head.

Clustering
Cluster formation takes place using two mechanisms :

The CBRP uses a variation of the lowest-ID algorithm, which
is an identiﬁer-based algorithm.
Each node uses a neighbor table. Information stored in a
neighbor table are :
o Unique Node IDs
o Role in the cluster (i.e. Cluster head or Member node)
o Status of the link to that node
(Unidirectional/Bidirectional).
The neighbor table is maintained by periodically
broadcasting HELLO messages. A HELLO message contains
information about a node’s state, its neighbor table and its
cluster adjacency table.

A. Routing Process :
 CBRP uses two data structures to support the routing
process:
1) The Cluster Adjacency Table (CAT) - The CAT stores
information about neighboring clusters, i.e. whether the
links are bi-directional or unidirectional.
2) The Two-Hop Topology Database - The two-hop
topology database contains all nodes that are at most two
hops away.
 The routing process works in two steps:
1) Discovery of a route from a source node ‘S’ to a
destination node ‘D’.
2) Actual transmission of the data packets.

Figure 2 : Presence of Bidirectional Links (A-B & A-C) &
Unidirectional Links (C-D) between the Clusters.

B. Route Discovery
• In CBRP only cluster heads are ﬂooded with route request
package (RREQ). Gateway nodes receive the RREQs and
forward them to the next cluster head.
• Initially, the source node ‘S’ broadcasts a RREQ with unique
ID containing the address of the destination node ‘D’.
• When a node ‘N’ receives a RREQ it does the following:
a) If ‘N’ is Gateway Node -> Forwards the RREQ to the next
Cluster head ‘C’.
b) If ‘N’ is Cluster Head -> Checks whether ‘D’ is a neighbor
or is two-hops away from it. It then sends the RREQ to
‘D’. Else broadcasts it to the neighboring Cluster head.

Example :

Route Discovered- [3,1,8,11]

C. Route Reply
If the RREQ reaches the destination node ‘D’, it contains
the path called as “loose source route”, [S,C1,C2,...,Ck,D].
‘D’ sends a Route Reply message (RREP) back to S using
the reversed loose source route [D, Ck,...,C1,S], i.e. RREP is
sent back to source along reversed loose source route of
cluster heads.
Every time a cluster head receives this RREP it computes
a strict source route, which then consists only of nodes
that form the shortest path within each cluster.

RREP- [11,8,1,3]

D. Route Error Detection
After determining the route, source routing is used for actual
packet transmission.
A forwarding node sends a Route Error Message (ERR) to
packet source if the next hop in source route is unreachable.

Example:

Route error (ERR)
down link: [9->11]

E. Local Route Repair
 Objective
 Increase Packet Delivery Ratio.
 Save Route Rediscovery flooding traffic.
 Reduce overall route acquisition delay.
 A forwarding node repairs a broken route using
its 2-hop-topology information and then
modifies the source route header accordingly.
 Destination node sends a Gratuitous Route Reply
to inform source of the modified route.

Advantages:
Clustering approach minimizes on-demand route discovery
traffic and routing overhead.
Uses “local repair” mechanism to reduce route acquisition
delay and new route re-discovery traffic.
Increases the packet delivery ratio to a great extent.
Disadvantages:
With increase in cluster size, the overhead per packet
increases due to source routing.
Every node of the route has to be stored in the routed packet.
So the packet size rises proportional to the path length of the
route.
The transmission time increases with increase in cluster size
and path length of the route.

Ad hoc networks, play a critical role in places where a
wired (central) connection is neither available nor
economical to build, such as law enforcement operations,
battle ﬁeld communications, disaster recovery situations,
and so on.
Such situations demand a network where all the nodes are
potentially mobile and communication must be supported
untethered between any two nodes.
The Cluster Based Routing Protocol (CBRP), which is a
robust and scalable routing protocol provides these
functionalities with better efficiency than the existing
proactive and reactive protocols.
