Abstract:
This paper presents PILOT, a new data-forwarding algorithm for ad-hoc networks,
that takes into consideration the change in location of the destination over
time. PILOT is also power-aware and the rate of increase of the
{\em probability of forwarding} is closely tied to the current energy
level at the node. We conclude the paper by
providing an experimental study of the proposed traffic forwarding algorithm.
The results show that in most of the cases, PILOT outperforms both AODV
and LAR.
