Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad HOC Networks Using Mobility Prediction

摘要

Over the lasts years there has been a growing interest on Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET), in this net work nodes are carried by people and connected to each other by multi-hop wireless links. Since the nodes can move freely, then the nodes mobility pattern became an important characteristic of the MANET. In this work we proposed a Geographical Routing Protocol which takes forwarding decisions based on the current node’s position and the its future position. To estimate the future position of the node we used a prediction method who has been based on real trajectories data. The algorithm proposed is compared with other proposed algorithms by simulation.
