Title
The modified grid location service for mobile ad-hoc networks
Abstract
Position-based routing has been proven to be a scalable and efficient solution for packet routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) by utilizing location information of mobile nodes. The location service provides geographic locations for all nodes and is therefore critical to position-based routing. In general, the control overhead in a position-based routing protocol is mainly dominated by location updates. In this paper, we propose a location service called Modified Grid Location Service (MGLS), which employs a binary grid partitioning scheme to reduce the control overhead associated with the location management and supports large scale ad hoc networks. We then use a theoretical model to analyze both MGLS and GLS. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show that MGLS can reduce the location update overhead in location services.
