Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is an infrastructure-less network with unstable dynamic nature. Such environment may cause high control signaling for self-rearrangement, and scalable problems. Weight-based Cluster routing algorithms aim to reduce configuration steps, retransmission and collisions. These algorithms differ in principal of cluster head selection upon some weight criteria such as (energy, connectivity, no. of node’s neighbors and mobility). In this research an analytical model was proposed to examine different criteria’s weights themes for cluster head election. The result expos the effect of the significant of multi combinations of them. Computation of criteria weight upon another criteria gives a smooth weight update with different update steps as results show. This can reflect new trend of weighted clustering algorithms based on network state.
