摘要

In MANETs, traffic may follow certain pattern that is not necessarily spatial or temporal but rather to follow special needs as a part of group for collaboration purposes. The source node tends to communicate with a certain set of nodes more than others regardless of their location exhibiting traffic locality where this set changes over time. We introduce a traffic locality oriented route discovery algorithm with delay, TLRDA-D. It utilises traffic locality by establishing a neighbourhood that includes the most likely destinations for a particular source node. The source node broadcasts the route request according to the original routing used. However, each intermediate node broadcasts the route request with a delay beyond this boundary to give priority for route requests that are travelling within their own source node’s neighbourhood region. This ap-proach improves the end-to-end delay and packet loss, as it generates less contention throughout the network. TLRDA-D is analysed using simulation to study the effect of adding a delay to route request propagation and to decide on the amount of the added delay.
