Abstract: Mobile Ad-hoc will be a vital part of next generation network due to its flexibility, infrastructure less nature, and ease to maintenance, auto configuration, self-administration capabilities, and cost effectiveness. In MANET Cluster base routing protocol play a significant role in formation of cluster at low energy cost. Energy efficient cluster formation in MANET is one of the major issue because energy of one node in cluster may affect all other nodes and also effect on the life time of the cluster Head. This paper propose an algorithm technique – which is “Signal and Energy Efficient Clustering (SEEC)” base on the Signal level and energy of the nodes to increase the life time of Cluster head. Its emphasis on the cluster maintenance and formation at low cost the resources used that are signal strength, battery power of the node. The Performance metrics are packet delivery ratio, Network Life time, Throughput. The simulation will be done using NS2 network Simulator.
Keywords: Cluster, Cluster Head (CH), Energy Level, Signal Strength, Routing, CBRP, MANET.
