<FONT face=Verdana>To decrease overhead of on-demand vector routing protocol and overcome shortcomings of location-aided routings about getting location information
a novel location-aided ad hoc on-demand vector routing protocol (LAODV) is proposed. In LAODV
location information is got on demand. During route discovery
flooding
location correct-based greedy forward strategy(LCGF) and limited flooding in expected zone are combined to improve the performance. In addition
a novel method for routing maintenance and a strategy of local multi-path backup routing are illustrated. Simulation results show that
LAODV can achieve fine performance in packet delivery ratio
