82 R. Shah and N.C. Hutch<strong>in</strong>sonthe route search messages is to limit the number of route search messages <strong>in</strong>itiated<strong>by</strong> a node every FIND DST INTERVAL. Aga<strong>in</strong> it is to be evaluated howmuch of a trade-off this is between throughput and reduc<strong>in</strong>g overhead.6.2 Nodes with GPS ReceiversIn our algorithm when a node tries to select neighbourhood nodes to hold itsmessage, it selects those that are not close to each other (separated <strong>by</strong> an angulardistance of more than 60 degrees). But it is possible that two nodes positionedfar apart <strong>in</strong> the neighbourhood could be head<strong>in</strong>g towards the same dest<strong>in</strong>ation.It is not possible to elim<strong>in</strong>ate such cases unless the node runn<strong>in</strong>g the algorithmknows the direction of the movement of the neighbour<strong>in</strong>g nodes. If all the nodesare equipped with GPS receivers then it is possible for them to know their location<strong>in</strong>formation. The nodes can periodically relay this <strong>in</strong>formation to theirneighbour<strong>in</strong>g nodes <strong>by</strong> piggyback<strong>in</strong>g it on the local broadcast messages and otherunicast messages. The periodically arriv<strong>in</strong>g location <strong>in</strong>formation from the neighbourscan help a node to compute a neighbour’s speed and more importantly,its direction of movement. A node can then use this <strong>in</strong>formation to select appropriatenodes, i.e., the elim<strong>in</strong>ation criterion can change from nodes placed closelyto each other to nodes mov<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> almost the same direction.7 ConclusionWe have demonstrated a simple algorithm to deliver messages <strong>in</strong> disconnectedMobile Ad-Hoc networks. Our scheme does not entail any extra requirementson the present rout<strong>in</strong>g algorithms. The only requirement is a local broadcastmechanism used to discover the neighbours of nodes. Such a mechanism is used<strong>in</strong> some of the current rout<strong>in</strong>g protocols. We have presented results obta<strong>in</strong>edfrom simulat<strong>in</strong>g our scheme.References1. E. M. Royer and C-K.
