| Summary: | The majority of the routing protocols designed to date for mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) rely on flooding of route requests for the establishment of routes on demand. A novel approach called CBORCA (Cut-Based On-demand Routing with Coordinate Awareness) is introduced. CBORCA improves the efficiency with which route requests are disseminated by parti- tioning the designated route forwarders in distinct quadrants and by selecting at most one “pivot” within each quadrant. Each new pivot is required to pass a distance test before joining the pivot set. Message complexity at each hop is shown to be O(C) ≍ O(1). Experimental results using simulations demonstrate that the performance of CBORCA achieves better results than ORCA (On-demand Routing with Coordinate Awareness) in packet- delivery ratio, signaling overhead, and end-to-end delay. |
