Abstract
This paper proposes a novel mobility-based framework for routing in wireless ad-hoc networks--- an emerging class of network architecture that is characterized by its highly dynamic topology and its limited resources. The framework supports adaptive clustering to dynamically organize the nodes of an ad-hoc network into clusters in which the probability of path failure due to node movement can be bounded over time. The cluster strategy provides the basis for the development of an adaptive hybrid routing strategy which dynamically balances the tradeoff between and routing responsiveness and efficiency according to localized mobility characteristics. The main objective of the proposed approach is to improve routing scalability, and support a wide range of wireless node mobility. According to the proposed scheme, routing within the clusters is managed on a proactive basis by a table-driven routing protocol that maintains up-to-date routing information regarding all cluster destinations; wh...
