FLS: a fuzzy-based location-service in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks

Several position-based routing protocols have been developed for mobile ad hoc networks. Many of these protocols assume that a location service is available which provides location information on the nodes in the network. In this article, we apply fuzzy logic system to a better management of location update operation in hierarchical location services. Our methods are different in last step of location update that is an effective agent over location query process. We decrease update management overhead without significant loss of query success probability and that is important which we use one-hop-chain-technique for auto compensation. Our method on mobility management can be used as an independent component to setup over different hierarchical location services.
