text: This paper is focused on a discussion of parameters and heuristics that are expected to assist multihop routing in becoming more sensitive to node mobility. We provide a discussion concerning existing and a few proposed parameters. Moreover, the work also discusses two new heuristics based on the notion of link duration. The heuristics are compared based on a meaningful set of scenarios that attain different mobility aspects.
  @cite_9: With the current increase in ad-hoc mobile networks in public domains (e.g. airports, cities, etc.), and the widespread use of IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN, there is a growing need to handle and manage fast mobility. Extending the coverage area of ad-hoc networks and taking into account fast mobility in routing protocols could offer a complementary solution to the UMTS for fourth generation (4G) mobile networks. In this paper we present an extension of the optimized link state routing protocol (OLSR), denoted Fast-OLSR, which is designed to meet the need for fast mobility in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). Performance evaluation of Fast-OLSR is done by simulation, and the results show that the loss rate can be minimized while maintaining a reasonable overhead traffic.
summary: A fourth category of work relies on as a measure of improving routing in terms of mobility sensitivity. @cite_9 have proposed whose basic idea is to detect link changes in a quicker way, by increasing the HELLO sending rate. Albeit interesting, such rate only assists in understanding that some nodes may be on the move, but not exactly which.
