Abstract: An on-demand distributed clustering algorithm based on neural network was proposed.The system parameters and the combined weight for each node were computed,and cluster-heads were chosen using the weighted clustering algorithm,then a training set was created and a neural network was trained.In this algorithm,several system parameters were taken into account,such as the ideal node-degree,the transmission power,the mobility and the battery power of the nodes.The algorithm can be used directly to test whether a node is a cluster-head or not.Moreover,the clusters recreation can be speeded up.
