A Novel Routing Algorithm for Highly-Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

utilized such as an implicit neighborhood ranking scheme to allow for only the local-best possible nodes to participate in the routing. Independence from topological arrangements of the network is achieved as is the case with highly-mobile ad-hoc networks and near optimal distribution of the information around the node's location is obtained based on current changes in the neighborhood of the node. A modified 2-hop acknowledgement method is used along with beacon timestamp values in order to select the routes according to the freshness of the individual responses. A Trust and Reputation Mechanism based on a Ranked Neighborhood and Location Information is additionally used to verify the veracity of the information obtained from the nodes.
