Implementation of Geocast Enhanced AODV-UU in Linux Testbed

Due to inherent dynamic nature of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs), real time communication and Quality of Service (QoS) is very difficult to achieve. For achieving QoS and real time transmission of audio video data, location information of node can help to achieve an efficient, robust routing and optimal communication link between source and destination. In this paper we are inspired by the usage of GPS data to reduce routing delay & efficient information dissemination. Location Information is utilized to geocast the request rather than broadcast route request in AODV-UU, subsequently reducing the number of broadcasts (routing overhead). This eventually helps to reduce the flooding of packets in the network for route discovery.
