In the dynamic network topology and mobile nature of nodes can cause challenges regarding connectivity and routing. Clustering in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) is one of the effective ways to organize a network according to the network topological changes. In this paper, we propose a clustering scheme in MANET using zone-based group mobility to improve scalability and stability of overall network. A dynamic mechanism for cluster size management is taken into account to reduce network congestion and improve the performance of the MANETs in group mobility. For proper use of resources and to reduce extra energy consumption, an algorithm is also proposed to handle the isolated nodes. We evaluate scenario with different number of nodes. Simulation result shows that proposed algorithm reduces the delay and improves the network lifetime along with more robustness and reduce the power consumption
