Abstract :
A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile computers forming a temporary network without any existing wire line infrastructure. Due to the dynamic nature of the network topology, the established routes in a MANET may be disconnected because of node mobility. It is difficult to support real-time traffic if the routes are broken and re-constructed frequently. In this paper, we propose a LOcation Trace Aided Routing (LOTAR) protocol, which utilizes the mobile nodes´ location information to assist in routing and reduce the disruption of a flow. The performance of LOTAR is studied and compared to other routing approaches in MANET
