Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad HOC Networks Using Mobility Prediction

Over the lasts years there has been a growing interest on mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), in this network nodes are carried by people and connected to each other by multi-hop wireless links. Since the nodes can move freely, then the nodes mobility pattern became an important characteristic of the MANET. In this work we proposed a geographical routing protocol which takes forwarding decisions based on the current node´s position and the its future position. To estimate the future position of the node we used a prediction method who has been based on real trajectories data. The algorithm proposed is compared with other proposed algorithms by simulation
