A Location Service Protocol for Group Mobility in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Weijia Jia · Journal of Chinese Computer Systems · 2007
Location-based routing is widely considered as a potentially scalable routing solution in mobile ad hoc networks.Location-based routing protocols assume that a location service is available to provide location information of each node in the network.Many location service protocols have been proposed in the literature.However,either they do not scale well in large-scale network environment or they are not so reliable if the network is highly dynamic.This paper proposed a scalable and reliable location service protocol for group mobility in large-scale mobile ad hoc networks. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol outperforms the SLURP protocol in the case of group mobility in large-scale mobile ad hoc networks.
