A Hierarchical Location Management Scheme in MANETs.
Sun Jin Oh · 2006
Abstract- An efficient stateless routing is possible because geographical routing protocol has many advantages of location information in mobile Ad-Hoc networks (MANETs). Such routing protocol, however, is significantly dependent on the existence of scalable location management services. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical location management (HLF) scheme considering the population of mobile nodes based on the logical hierarchy in mobile Ad-Hoc networks. The performance of the proposed location management scheme is evaluated by an analytical model in terms of a total location management cost over a call-to-mobility ratio, and compared with those of a existing ELF method. Keywords: MANET, Hierarchical Location Management, Location Forwarding. 1.
