Young‐Beom Kim · The Journal of the Korean Institute of Information and Communication Engineering · 2007
Recently, there have been active research efforts on devising efficient routing algorithms utilizing location information in ad-hoc mobile networks. In this paper, we propose a new method to improve the performance of the widely recognized Location Aided Routing (LAR) algorithm. To this end, we suggest the concept of accessible zone combined with the basic two schemes associated with LAR algorithm. Through the proposed algorithm, we can confine the flooding area within accessible zone, thereby reducing the routing delay.
