Abstract: The beaconing approach is the key function in geographic routing to disseminate the location. This work proposes MObility pattern free Dynamic and Effective Location update (MODEL) protocol for the maintenance of the trade-off between overhead and precision. The main components considered in the MODEL protocol are beaconing importance and dynamic location prediction-error measurement. Owing to the sensitivity of boundary nodes to the location being accurate, the MODEL protocol efficiently exploits the fuzzy algorithm to allow a minimum error in predicting location rather than in adjacent nodes. This work simulates the proposed MODEL protocol in NS2 simulator and compares the performance of the existing Load Balanced-Dynamic Beaconing Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (LB-DB-GPSR). The simulation results show a better performance of the proposed MODEL protocol in terms of overhead, neighbour list accuracy, and throughput.

Keywords: MANET; location update; geographic routing; node stability; beaconing importance; prediction-error; fuzzy algorithm; routing overhead; greedy nodes; neighbour list accuracy; local topology; DAR; dynamic acceptance error rate.
