Mobile ad hoc networks are self-organizing and self-configuring multi-hop wireless networks capable of adaptive re-configuration when they are affected by node mobility. A mobile ad hoc network is composed of peer nodes with equal networking capabilities which are able to function as mobile routers i.e., to forward packets and maintain routes. Packets can be forwarded in multi-hops from the source nodes to the destination nodes with no need for underlying fixed network infrastructure (e.g. routers and base stations). Therefore, mobile ad hoc networks are not constrained in their deployment by any need for underlying infrastructure and they can be deployed rapidly in situations where wireless access to a backbone is impossible and an infrastructure is difficult to install (e.g., disaster recovery). In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), the network topology is autonomously formed and continuously changes, due to the mobility of the nodes. Clustering allows us to organize the topology in a structured manner. The association and dissociation of nodes to and from clusters perturb the stability of the network topology, and hence reconfiguration of the system is often unavoidable. Several existing on-demand clustering algorithms update that topology if needed. In this paper, an improvement to the existing clustering algorithm is done under the energy parameter specification. The effective route is here defined for clustered communication. An inter cluster and intra cluster communication is here performed under mobility vector. In this work, distance and energy adaptive algorithm is suggested to generate the effective communication route and analyze the work under different parameters which enhances the stability of the network in a more efficient way.
