THE HOP-COUNT BASED WEAK-NAVIGATION METHOD AND SYSTEM IN MOBILE ADHOC NETWORKS

摘要

The present invention relates to a hop count-based similar navigation method and system in a mobile ad hoc network, and more particularly, to enable a mobile ad hoc network to navigate to a mobile node corresponding to a destination based on a hop count between mobile nodes. In the present invention, a hop count-based pseudo navigation method and a system thereof are provided.;To this end, the present invention provides a hop count-based similar navigation method in a mobile ad hoc network, comprising: transmitting, by a target node, at least one neighboring node an update message including target node identification information, sequence number, and hop count; Updating, by the neighbor nodes, a routing table entry based on target node identification information, a sequence number, and a hop count included in an update message received from the target node; Transmitting, by the neighbor nodes, the updated routing table entry to a search node; And estimating, by the search node, a change in distance from the search node to the target node using an average hop count for the target node on the routing table entry received from the neighbor nodes.;Mobile ad hoc network, mobile node, hop count, similar navigation, destination, route, direction of movement
