Fault-tolerant cluster-based routing approach in wireless mobile ad hoc networks

In this paper we propose a new algorithm for routing in mobile survivable networks, based on the combination of position-based routing concepts and fault-tolerant routing techniques in computer networks. By using a combination of these two concepts we achieve a simplified way of localizing routing overhead while at the same time we improve the operational effectiveness of the position-based routing approaches by alleviating some of the drawbacks associated with them, such as routing deadlock occurrences, and therefore creating a robust and fault tolerant routing strategy
