Location-Based Routing Algorithm Using Clustering in the MANET

Mobile ad hoc network(MANET) can increase independence and flexibility of network because it is consisted of mobile nodes without the aid of fixed infra, but, by unrestricted for the participation and breakaway of node, it has the difficulty in routing which is a basic function of network operation. To solve those problems, a suggestion is the location-based routing algorithm using geological or logical location information. The suggested algorithm which is based on cluster for location information of node is applicable to network of discrete situation, which guarantees extension and mobility. By performance verification compare DSR and AODV routing algorithm with packet transmission ratio, routing overheads, and average communication expense as node increases.
