A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is aninfrastructureless and highly dynamic network. Routes insuch a network may fail frequently because of nodemobility or other issues. Stability therefore can be animportant element in the design of routing protocols.Stable routes, also called the long-lived routes, can bediscovered and used to reduce the overhead resultedfrom route maintenance in ad hoc networks. In this paperwe propose the Long-lived Route Prediction (LRP)scheme to discover stable routes. The LRP scheme isdistributed, and it predicts the long-lived routes based onthe history of link lifetime. Furthermore, we apply theLRP scheme to both open area and urban area usingsimulation. Simulation results show that the LRP schemecan indeed discover stable routes to reduce the numberof route rediscovery, and can be much more efficient andscalable.
