PLP - A Packet Loss Prevention Technique for Partitioned MANETs using Location-Based Multicast (LBM) Algorithms

Geocasting using Global Position System (GPS) in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) has made location based services feasible. Location dependent services are mostly intended for a group of nodes in a geocasting region. Location based Multicast (LBM) Algorithms have presented multicasting techniques based on a forwarding zone. In this paper, a packet loss prevention technique is presented for partitioned networks between the source node and geocast region (although there exists a path between source and the multicast region); an issue not addressed by LBM Algorithms. It is proved through simulations that this scheme ensures high success rate with minimum possible flooding.
