Abstract

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) often have fast-changing and unpredictable mobility. This is especially true for recently emerging mobile sensor networks [7] and delay tolerant networks [2], where extreme network conditions are prevalent. To better adjust to such network conditions, we propose to deconstruct the underlying node mobility into a set of abstractions that can be readily leveraged for driving dynamic routing decisions. In particular, we investigate the feasibility of using route lifetime to abstract mobility. Through extensive simulations on DSR, we demonstrate up to 31% improvement in packet delivery rate and 53% improvement in average end-to-end packet latency, using our proposed route prefetch and decay techniques that leverage knowledge of route lifetimes.
