Impact of mobility on Location-based Routing with Adaptive Request Zone in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

In this paper, we present the impact of mobility on our scheme called Location-based Routing with Adaptive Request Zone (LoRAReZ). In LoRAReZ, the size of expected zone and request zone are set adaptively based on the distance between the source node and destination node. We evaluate the impact of mobility on the performance of LoRAReZ in terms of packet delivery fraction, routing overhead, end-to-end delay, throughput and power consumption by comparing with those of the traditional Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Modified Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (MAODV). The results show that LoRAReZ can provide the better performance than those of AODV and MAODV.
