Abstract

several geographic routing protocols using location information have already been proposed for ad hoc networks to improve performance of ad hoc routing protocols, such as Location-Aided Routing (LAR) protocols. Through using location information, LAR protocols restrict the search for a new route to a smaller Request Zone of the ad hoc network. This results in a significant reduction in the number of routing packets. This paper presents the performance evaluation of LAR protocol and its derivatives: LAR Box, LAR Step, P-LAR Box and P-LAR Step. The performance evaluation is based on several network metrics such as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Traffic Overhead (TOH) and End to End Delay (EED).
