Abstract :
A new route discovery optimisation scheme based on unicast queries is proposed that results in as much as a 30% reduction in the number of query packets propagated whenever a new route needs to be discovered. It achieves this by unicasting the query packets along an existing route towards a target neighbour. Simulation results show that a network with a high degree of nodal mobility benefits most from this optimisation scheme
