A Novel Concept of MANET Architecture for Location Based Service Using Circular Data Aggregation Technique

MANET is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. Localization in MANET refers to the problem of finding the locations of non-GPS enabled nodes based on limited information like locations of some known beacons and measurements such as ranges or angles among the neighbors. In this paper a circular system model is proposed and it decreases location management overhead in the network. The simulation results show that under a specific environment the protocol delivers packets efficiently and also the proposed routing scheme scales well with large network area.
