Abstract
Links between nodes in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are vulnerable to breakage because of the highly dynamic nature of MANETs, this results in frequent changes and unpredictability in network topologies. So, discovering and maintaining routes between nodes is one of the biggest challenges in MANETs. This makes the routing area perhaps the most active research area within the MANET domain. The ultimate goal of the MANET community is to provide a set of standardized protocols that can be both robust and scalable. This paper proposes a routing protocol based on the angles (directions) of the adjacent mobile nodes. Each pair of nodes that form a hop should ideally be moving in the same or similar direction, so the connection between the source and the destination will consist of a series of nodes that are moving in a similar direction. We measure the performance of the proposed approach by evaluating it against the ad-hoc on demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol. The simulation results reveal thatthe proposed approach demonstrates better performance than AODV for most scenarios.
