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 />
