Abstract
This paper aims towards a critical retrospection of some of the most bugging limitations of cluster formation and cluster head selection. Based on this, a new Weighted Adaptive Clustering Algorithm (WACA) has been proposed. The proposed methodology is aimed at reducing the transmission overhead, total required time and increasing the stability of the formed cluster. WACA can dynamically adapt itself to the frequently changing topology of ad-hoc network.
