ROUTING PROTOCOLS
In a destination-based routing protocol, a node only needs to know
the next hop along the routing path when forwarding a packet to the
destination. For example, DSR is a topology-based routing protocol.
AODV and DSDV are destination-based routing protocols.
e availability of global positioning system (GPS) or similar
locating systems allows mobile nodes to access geographical infor-
mation easily. In location-based routing protocols, the distance
between a packet forwarding node and the destination, along with
the node mobility, can be used in both route discovery and packet
forwarding. Existing location-based routing approaches for mobile
ad hoc networks can be divided into two schemes. In the first
case, the nodes send packets ...
