In ad hoc routing protocols after a link is broken, a new route is reconstructed during which packets can be dropped, causing significant throughput degradation. We suggest utilizing location information on table-driven protocols to reduce the message overhead, and to provide link prediction to increase packet delivery. The proposed Location-Triggered Routing (LTR) protocol only exchanges routing messages when a node changes its location and impacts at least one network route. This results in a significant reduction in the number of routing messages and further reduces the number of dropped or lost packets, particularly in a network with highly mobile nodes under heavy traffic conditions.
