A novel ad-hoc network routing protocol with an acceleration sensor

On an ad-hoc network which is consisted of movable nodes, the network topology is dynamic because each node is adaptive. So we must maintain the routing table in order to send a packet. In proactive routing protocols, each node exchanges their routing information in order to maintain the routing tables. In this type of protocol, we can send a packet quickly, but a lot of control packets are needed. So the battery life is short. On the other hand, in reactive routing protocols, a node starts making the routing table after receiving a packet sending request. So this protocol takes a lot of seconds to send a packet. In this paper, we focus on the cause that changes the routing table. Because we should update the routing table only when the node moves, we propose a novel routing protocol which has the acceleration information from the sensor. And a node exchanges the routing table only if it moves. We apply it to the surveillance camera system at a parking lot.
