Using location information to help routing is often proposed as a means to achieve scalability in large mobile ad-hoc networks. However, location based routing is difficult when there are holes in the network topology and nodes are mobile. Terminode routing, presented here, addresses these issues. It uses a combination of location based routing (Terminode Remote Routing, TRR), used when the des...

In this work, the capacitated location-routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (CLRP-SPD) is considered. This problem is a more realistic case of the capacitated location-routing problem (CLRP) and belongs to the reverse logistics of the supply chain. The problem has many real-life applications of which some have been addressed in the literature such as management of liquid petrol...

an integrated model considers all parameters and elements of different deficiencies in one problem. this paper presents a new integrated model of a supply chain that simultaneously considers facility location, vehicle routing and inventory control problems as well as their interactions in one problem, called location-routing-inventory (lri) problem. this model also considers stochastic demands ...

in this paper, the capacitated location-routing problem with fuzzy demands (clrp-fd) is considered. the clrp-fd is composed of two well-known problems: facility location problem and vehicle routing problem. the problem has many real-life applications of which some have been addressed in the literature such as management of hazardous wastes and food and drink distribution. in clrp-fd, a set of c...

Instead of blindly searching for a route in the entire network, the location-based routing protocol uses the location information of mobile nodes to confine routing space into a smaller range that reduces routing overhead and broadcast storm. In this paper, we propose a location-aided cluster-based routing protocol called Core Location-Aided Cluster-based Routing protocol (CLACR). CLACR partiti...

Mobile ad hoc network consists of mobile node where no infrastructure exists. If a node wants to communicate with other node, it needs to obtain its location to forward the data packets. Due to high mobility nature, communication will get degraded because of less packet delivery rate. In previous location aware routing protocols, multipath routing is not deployed with location updation. In this...
