GeoTORA: A Protocol for Geocasting in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers the problem of providing a geocast service in mobile ad hoc networks and presents a novel geocasting algorithm combining unicasting and flooding. Geocast is useful for sending messages to everyone in a specified geographical region. The proposed protocol is named GeoTORA, because it is derived from the TORA (unicast) routing protocol. Flooding is also incorporated in GeoTORA, but it is limited to nodes within a small region. This integration of TORA and flooding can significantly reduce the overhead of geocast delivery, while maintaining reasonably high accuracy.

Anycasting-based protocol for geocast service in mobile ad hoc networks
Geocasting is a variation on the notion of multicasting. Geocasting is useful for sending messages to nodes in a specified geographical region. This region is called the geocast region. This paper presents a protocol, named GeoTORA, for geocasting in mobile ad hoc networks. The proposed GeoTORA protocol combines anycasting with local flooding to implement geocasting. Thus, GeoTORA requires two ...
متن کاملA Review of Geocasting Protocols for a Mobile Ad Hoc Network∗ †
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a network consisting of a set of mobile hosts capable of communicating with each other without the assistance of base stations. In this paper we review five existing protocols for geocasting in a MANET environment. The goal of a geocasting protocol is to deliver data packets to a group of nodes that are with a specified geographical area, i.e., the geocast reg...
متن کاملObstacle-free geocasting protocol for ad hoc wireless networks
Mobile Ad Hoc networks (MANET) comprise mobile hosts in a network bereft of base stations and characterized by a highly dynamic network topology. The MANET environment contains unpredictable obstacles, such as mountains, lakes, buildings, or regions without any hosts, impeding or blocking message relay. This study proposes geocasting protocol for sending short message from a source host to a ge...

In recent years, mobile ad-hoc networks have been used widely due to advances in wireless technology. These networks are formed in any environment that is needed without a fixed infrastructure or centralized management. Mobile ad-hoc networks have some characteristics and advantages such as wireless medium access, multi-hop routing, low cost development, dynamic topology and etc. In these netwo...
متن کاملImproving Quality of Service Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using OLSR
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. Since MANET has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. The OLSR protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. OLSR introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...
