Location based Routing Protocols: A Survey
Aditya H.Iche, M. R. Dhage · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2015
A Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET) or Wireless sensor Network (WSN) is a collection of wireless nodes without any centralized access point, topology or centralized administration.Because of this conditions, network overhead and packet delivery ratio get affected.Hence to reduce routing overhead and increase packet delivery ratio in this type network, there are many routing protocols are developed by researchers.Here we are presenting a survey of such routing protocol that make forwarding decision based on node geographic position and route packets only in the direction of destination node.This type of limited flooding reduces the routing overhead in the network.To know the node position, GPS or some other Location services are used.
