Wireless Ad hoc networks (WANET) contain mobile nodes associated with multi-hop communication routes. Clustering is the efficient approach for extend the WANET lifetime and raises the scalability. Nowadays, clustering approachesareattained by rotating the luxurioustask of the cluster head (CH) among the mobile nodes for balancing the load. WANT nodes are clustered for one round and are re-clustered for the next round. Using these rules, loads of nodes are relatively balanced. Yet,thecompulsory overhead from uninterrupted re-clusteringdevastates the energy resource. Even thoughseveralchallenges we're prepared for energy-efficient clustering approaches, the re-clustering overhead still remains a severe disadvantage of these protocols. To alleviate these issues, this articleintroduces a Fuzzy-based Clustering and public-key cryptography (FCPC) for enhancing the energy efficiency and node validation in WANET. Thefuzzy system input is the mobile node's speed, distance from the sender to recipient, and it provides the output in round length. It is used for deciding the re-clustering time. In addition, Public Key Cryptography (PKI) method is used for validating mobile nodes in WANET. Thus the sender transmits the data to a destination via reliable nodes in the WANET.Simulation results illustrate that improves the routing efficiency in the WANET.
