Abstract

In this paper, we present a new position-based routing algorithmfor mobile wireless networks, such as ad hoc networks and sensornetworks. The proposed algorithm minimises the effect of inaccuratelocation information on routing, which is caused by periodicalupdates of node location information in the network. The algorithmachieves low communication complexity of O(√n), compared toother existing position-based algorithms with O(n) complexity,where n is the number of nodes in the network. In addition, unlikesome existing routing algorithms, the new algorithm is insensitiveto the mobility of mobile nodes and consistently performs well forvarious mobilities.
