Abstract

This paper describes the design, implementation and evaluation of an adhoc routing protocol (GPSAR) that is suitable for data transmission via GPS and WiFi-enabled mobile devices in the absence of any network infrastructure. GPSAR builds an adhoc wireless network using these mobile devices, and uses location information of these devices to route data packets to a node that is either a gateway to the Internet or is a computing resource. GPSAR selects the most appropriate valuable node so that the overall response time is minimized. It has been evaluated via simulation in NS-2 and an implementation over a set of Android Nexus phones and laptops. Results are discussed and compared with existing adhoc routing protocols.
