Impact of mobility on user-centric routing

Abstract

This paper presents a summary of work aimed at making current multihop routing in mobile ad hoc networks more sensitive to node mobility and ultimately improve routing performance in the face of node mobility. We discuss the various existing mobility tracking parameters, how they capture node mobility and also their shortfalls. We propose some mobility tracking schemes(heuristics) based on one of the mobility tracking parameters(Link Duration) and also show the performance of one of the proposed heuristics.
