Abstract

Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a network of mobile nodes that do not have a fixed infrastructure. Recent research in this field addresses ways of solving existing problems in a MANET by using the node location information. However, maintaining the location information of the nodes is one of the essential challenges in mobile Ad-Hoc networks because the location of a node changes frequently. In this paper, we propose a Group Quorum System (GQS) based adaptive mobility management scheme considering the gravity of locality that is managing the location information for all nodes efficiently in a MANET. In a proposed scheme, the mobility database storing the location information of a mobile node can be selected adaptively from the GQS by considering the gravity of locality. The performance of a proposed scheme is to be evaluated by an analytical model, and compared with that of existing Uniform Quorum System (UQS) based mobility management scheme.
