Abstract
This paper proposes a method to reduce overhead packets and end-to-end delay and improve reachability over an ad hoc network that uses a location-aided routing protocol. Location-aided routing is useful in emergency situations where both the infrastructure network and consistent address assignment mechanisms do not work. The existing location-aided routing protocols, however, have several defects such as needing many overhead packets to capture the location information, and difficulty in handling void zones. The proposed technique consists of location-aided route discovery based on a two-hop neighbor information and forwarding mechanism. By knowing more about the location of other nodes, the proposal can solve the existing problems. This paper compares our approaches with existing approaches through computer simulation and analysis, showing that our proposed method achieves better performance than those of the existing approaches.
