Ad hoc networks are a type of mobile networks that function without any fixed infrastructure.
One of the weaknesses of ad hoc networks is that route between a source and a destination …

The task of finding and maintaining routes in a Wireless Sensor Networks is a nontrivial task
since energy restrictions and sudden changes in node status (eg failure) cause frequent and …

Abstract Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) also called as wireless ad hoc network is a self-
organizing, self-configuring infrastructure less network containing a group of mobile nodes …

One possibility direction to assist routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is to use
geographical location information provided by positioning devices such as global …

Chapter 21 reviews research on position based routing in ad hoc and sensor wireless
networks in the view of node mobility and changes in node activity. Mobility is apparently a …

In this paper, we propose an efficient greedy location-aided routing (GLAR) scheme to
improve the efficiency of location-aided routing (LAR) scheme for mobile ad hoc networks …

The capacity of ad hoc networks can be severely limited due to interference constraints. One
way of using improving the overall capacity of ad hoc networks is by the use of smart …

The use of smart directional antennas in ad-hoc networks has recently received much
attention since this technology offers a way to optimize power consumption, increase spatial …

Many location based routing protocols have been developed for ad hoc networks. This
paper presents the results of a detailed performance evaluation on two of these protocols …

In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), when information about the location of the destination
node is known, efficient communication can be achieved by using location-based routing …
