Geographic Routing for Mobile Nodes

Project Type: HYP/UROP

While geographic routing is known to be an efficient routing solution for static wireless nodes, existing geographic routing algorithms are not likely to work well for mobile nodes. In addition to the problems of changing network topologies due to mobility, we have to grapple with a naming problem: in geographic routing, there is a need to assign a coordinate to each node and if nodes move and coordinates change, how are we going to be able to deliver packets to a moving target?

In this project, the student will explore how existing geographic routing algorithms can be modified to operate well in the presence of highly mobile nodes. In particular, we will also study the problem of geographic routing in mixed networks consisting of a set of static nodes and a set of mobile nodes.
