Compared with topology -based routing, location-based routing scales much better in large-scale mobile ad hoc networks. Location-based routing protocols assume that a location service is available to provide location information of each node in the network. Many location service protocols have been proposed in the literature. However, either they do not scale well in large-scale network environ...

The focus of this paper is routing in a wide area mobile ad hoc network referred to as a Terminode Network. Our routing scheme is a combination of two protocols: Terminode Local Routing (TLR) and Terminode Remote Routing (TRR). TRR is used for remote destinations. It utilizes the location of a destination obtained by the source using location management or location tracking. TLR acts when the p...

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...

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...
