Today mobile ad-hoc network becomes network of heterogeneous devices in sense of power, range, mobility pattern and energy. Heterogeneity property of devices leads number of issues like network partition, routing overhead, low throughput and short network life. Though optimum utilization of the resources is major concern for researcher. The motive of work is to focus energy heterogeneous mobile ad-hoc network. In this paper, loosely coupled clustering approach have proposed that compatible with energy heterogeneous network. Proposed approach efforts to resolve or minimize above discussed issues. Proposed approach, experimented in NS-2 and evaluated certain result criteria like throughput, cluster head overhead, packet delivery ratio etc.
