Abstract Details

2002, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Computer Engineering.
A mobile ad hoc network consists of wireless hosts that may often move. Routing in such a network is a challenging task. Location based routing protocols utilize location information of the nodes (obtained using the global positioning system or some other means) to route packets. Some of these protocols assume a location service exists, which provides location information on all the nodes in the network. In this research work a predictive model-based scheme, called dead reckoning location service, is developed for mobile ad hoc networks. It disseminates both location and movement models of mobile nodes in the network so that every node is able to predict or track the movement of every other node with a very low overhead. The basic technique is optimized to use “distance effect”, where distant nodes maintain less accurate tracking information to save overheads, by using a layering and buffering approach. The dead reckoning location service (DRLS) mechanism is evaluated against three known location dissemination service protocols: Simple, DREAM and GRSS. The evaluation is done with geographic routing as an application. It is observed that dead reckoning significantly outperforms the other protocols in terms of packet delivery fraction. It also maintains low control overhead. Its packet delivery performance is only marginally impacted by increasing speed or noise in the mobility model, thataffects its predictive ability. DRLS based routing also performs better than Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol in delivering data packets to the destinations, particularly for large networks. Using efficient broadcasting schemes will improve DRLS even further.
