Abstract

Several drawbacks have slowed down the production of mobile computers. This paper discusses these drawbacks, explains how mobile computers function, and tells how computers transfer information from one computer to another when in mobile networks. Afterwards, we present several proposed methods for transferring information with mobile nodes. Each method, however, has its own disadvantages, which we explain. Two of these methods are compared and contrasted in depth (Advanced Triangle Routing and Forwarding Pointer Method). In the near future, we plan to present the results of our C++ simulation, which emulates a mobile network. With this simulation, an experiment will be constructed to determine which location management method is preferable in certain situations in the artificial network. Finally, the paper concludes with the results of the experiment and future work.
