AB  - One hop clustering scheme in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) 
  adopts the shorter path technique for packet transmission. However, its maintenance 
  overhead is significant compared to others. This study presents a Two Hop Clustering 
  Scheme for Pseudolinear Mobile Ad hoc Network (THPM) which uses the node connectivity 
  and node mobility jointly to form a cluster which will be able to improve scalability. 
  In this scheme, node mobility has been taken into account in terms of the average 
  clusterhead lifetime of holding nodes to increase the network stability. Simulation 
  results show that the clusters created by THPM retain more uniform cluster size, 
  clusterhead lifetime and average number of nodes in each cluster up to 45~50% 
  than the existing scheme.
