Location-Aided Routing (LAR) in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks  Young-Bae Ko and Nitin H. Vaidya Department of Computer Science Texas AM University College Station, TX 77843-3112 fyoungbae,vaidyag@ Abstract 2 Related Work A mobile ad hoc network consists of wireless hosts that may move Design of routing protocols is a crucial problem in mobile ad hoc often. Movement of hosts results in a change in routes, requiring networks [7, 25], and several routing algorithms have been devel- some mechanism for determining new routes. Several routing pro- oped (e.g., [6, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 21, 23, 24, 28]). One desir- tocols have already been proposed for ad hoc networks. This paper able qualitative property of a routing protocol is that it should adapt suggests an approach to utilize location information (for instance, to the traffic patterns [8].
