Title
Hierarchical Location Service with Prediction in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
Abstract
Position-based routing protocols take advantage of location information to perform a stateless and efficient routing. To enable position-based routing, a node must be able to discover the location of the messages' destination node. This task is typically accomplished by a location service. Recently, several location service protocols have been developed for ad hoc networks. In this paper we propose a novel location service called PHLS: Predictive Hierarchical Location Service. In PHLS, the entire network is partitioned into a hierarchy of smaller and smaller regions. For each node, one node in each-level region of the hierarchy is chosen as its local location server. When the network initializes or when a node attaches the network, nodes contact their local location server with their current location information (ie. position and velocity). Then, they only need to update their location server when they move away from their current region. Finally, nodes query their location servers and get the exact or predicted location of destination nodes.
