Routing Protocols for Ad Hoc Networks Chapter 2<br />
As in ABR, the routes selected by the SSR algorithm are more stable and longer<br />
lived resulting in fewer route reconstructions, while not necessarily being' the<br />
shortest. However no attempt is made to make partial route recovery as in ABR with<br />
the result that the source has to reinitiate the route search. Conversely, the<br />
"backtracking" method of localized route reconstruction in ABR may not reduce<br />
delay as much as is expected, compared to the source immediately initiating a route<br />
request when a broken link is found. Longer delays may also result in the route<br />
search process because unlike AODV and DSR, intermediate nodes are not allowed<br />
to respond with a route reply.<br />
2.2.4. Location Based Routing Protocols<br />
Mobile nodes can be designed to obtain physical location information using Global<br />
Positioning System (apS) receivers. While these receivers may be relatively<br />
expensive, they will become cheaper with advancements in technology. The gains in<br />
using them for location information with routing in ad hoc networks could be<br />
significant due their being able to potentially reduce routing related overheads<br />
[K097]. The selective paging scheme in Personal Communication Service (PCS)<br />
networks has a purpose similar to utilizing location information with ad hoc<br />
networks. When a host needs to be located using selective paging, the network pages<br />
only a selected subset of the cells close to the last reported location. Tracking cost is<br />
thereby decreased.<br />
This subsection describes two routing protocols that use location information in the<br />
routing process. Location Aided Routing (LAR) [K098] is an on-demand routing<br />
protocol. In LAR a source node estimates the range of a destination node's location<br />
based on the destination node's last reported velocity, and broadcasts a route request<br />
only to nodes within a geographically defined request zone. In Distance Routing<br />
Effect Algorithm for Mobility (DREAM) [Basagni98] a node periodically transmits<br />
its location coordinates to other nodes in the network. DREAM is therefore<br />
considered a proactive protocol. The period of location transmission depends on the<br />
node's velocity and the geographic distance to nodes for which the location<br />
information is intended.<br />
