An Efficient Approach for Location Updating in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

In this paper, we consider the problem of location updating in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). We propose a node stability-based location updating approach. In order to optimize the routing, most of the existing routing algorithms use some mechanism for determining the nodes´ neighbours. This information is stored in a table called the neighbour table. The updating of the neighbour table is referred to as location updating. Preliminary set of results show that our proposed algorithm outperforms the typical algorithm used for location updating in existing algorithms.
