This paper provides a clusterhead review of clusterhead selection algorithm in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and proposes a Stable Clusterhead Selection Algorithm for ad hoc networks (SCSA). The algorithm constructs a stable clusterhead with the help of reducing the number of clusterhead reconstruction. It selects the nodes which have the stability to be the clusterheaders. The results of simulation show that, with the proposed SCSA clusterhead selection algorithm, the average number of clusterheads, the frequency of clusterhead changes, the frequency of cluster member changes, and cluster lifetime can be improved in most of cases. It is an available approach to clusterhead decision.
