Performance Analysis of Location Profile Routing

Abstract—We propose using the predictability of human mo-tion to eliminate the overhead of distributed location services in human-carried MANETs, dubbing the technique location profile routing. This method outperforms the Geographic Hashing Location Service when nodes change locations 2×more frequently than they initiate connections (e.g., start new TCP streams), as in applications like text- and instant-messaging. Prior character-izations of human mobility are used to show that location profile routing achieves a 93 % delivery ratio with a 1.75 × first-packet latency increase relative to an oracle location service.
