Abstract

We consider the geometric routing problem on mobile adhoc wireless networks such that we can send packets by only using local information at each node. We design a novel routing algorithm named directional routing algorithm by using random local neighbors such that the information can be efficiently maintained if each node dynamically changes its position. In our scheme, the number of hops and the number of transmissions issued during the routing process are both very small. No centralized control is necessary: The network is implicitly stored and maintained in a distributed fashion at each node using O (1) space, and constructed only using local information in transmission disk of each node. Using this network, we give the first geometric routing with nontrivial theoretical performance gurantee.
