The maximum hard side of MANET is that they're power resource-limited wherein energy cannot be replenished. Our evaluation intention is to give a high power saving management system for MANET. Cluster approaches in MANET make other nodes into small disjoint groups, wherever every cluster node encompasses an organizer known as CH (Cluster Head). The primary difficult task within the methods is retaining created clusters. To decide any node as Cluster Head, it's very essential to summarize its constraints and eligibility which is supported by the information of the node's properties like its remaining power or energy. There may be a possibility of the Cluster Heads might be unsuccessful and act wrongly due to power instability. During failure, the Cluster Heads are unable to collect the date and transfer information well. This influences the effectiveness of the MANET. We can decrease the information failure by detecting the failure of CH earlier, and also it needs the lowest improvement efforts. A self-configurable cluster mechanism is proposed. We planned to identify the unstable Cluster Heads and soon it will be replaced by some other nodes. k-means protocol method has been developed to select Cluster Heads effectively. This protocol (k-means) operates on an interval or periodic irregular rotations of the Cluster Heads and some of the clusters vary between 0 and 1. If the arbitrary number is smaller than the pre-decided preset (threshold) value, the node becomes a Cluster Heads for the existing round. We've achieved and realized a decrease in power and energy loss in comparison to other protocols like transmission and direct communication protocols. The experimental result suggests that the proposed scheme works properly in a reduction in energy dissipation compared to other protocols like transmission and direct communication protocols.

In General, Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) has limited energy resources, and it cannot recharge itself. This research goal focuses on building a power management scheme that saves energy in the MANET. Due to power instability, there is a chance that cluster heads fail and function incorrectly in cluster-based routing. As a result, instability occurs with the cluster heads while collecting data and communicating with others effectively. This work focuses on detecting the unstable cluster heads, which are replaced by other nodes implementing the envisaged self-configurable cluster mechanism. A self-configurable cluster mechanism with a k-means protocol approach is proposed to designate cluster heads effectively. The proposed k-means procedure is based on periodic irregular cluster head rotations or altering the number of clusters. We also propose a trust management mechanism in this research to detect and avoid MANET vulnerabilities. Because of the continuously changing topology and limited resources (power, bandwidth, computing), the trust management algorithm should only use local data. Consequently, compared to traditional protocols, the proposed approach with the k-means procedure and its experimental results show lower power usage and provide an optimal system for trust management.
