| We present an overview of ad-hoc routing
protocols that make forwarding decisions based on the
geographical position of a packet's destination. Other than the
destination's position, each node needs to know only its own
position and the position of its one-hop neighbors in order to
forward packets. Since it is not necessary to maintain explicit
routes, position-based routing does scale well even if the
network is highly dynamic. This is a major advantage in a mobile
ad-hoc network where the topology may change frequently. The main
prerequisite for position-based routing is that a sender can
obtain the current position of the destination. Therefore,
recently proposed location services are discussed in addition to
position-based packet forwarding strategies. We provide a
qualitative comparison of the approaches in both areas and
investigate opportunities for future research. |
