Abstract

Recently, in mobile ad hoc networks, routing schemes using location information have been proposed. Most of these schemes assume that the source node already knows the location information of the destination node. However, since all nodes are always moving, it is difficult to apply this assumption to the real mobile ad hoc environment. In order to cope this difficulty, this paper presents a new routing scheme HRLI, a Hybrid Routing with Location Information, which using the threshold for the communication range of all nodes. And it considers the location and velocity information of the destination node and the neighboring nodes. In HRLI, when a source node creates a route to a destination node, the future location of the destination node predicted by the source node is calculated using these location and velocity information. And the source node sends data packets based on the predicted location information of destination node and neighboring nodes. This paper shows that HRLI achieves high data delivery ratio and fewer overheads for using the threshold of communication range and the predicted location through simulation experiments.
