Abstract:
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are the dynamically reconfigurable wireless networks in which mobile nodes communicate with each other without the need for any fixed infrastructure. In these networks mobile nodes are free to move, therefore, network topology changes rapidly. These changes can lead to significant performance degradations in network protocols. To cope with this, a desired solution is to predict movements of mobile nodes. In this way, we can be prepared for changes. This thesis proposes two mobility prediction methods. In both methods, each node uses the information extracted from its own history of movements to predict its future location. Results obtained by applying two proposed methods, show significant improvements in terms of prediction accuracy compared to the other known methods
