In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), nodes mobility causes network topologies to change dynamically over time, which complicates important tasks such as broadcasting and routing. Neighborhood tracking is a task to determine the neighborhood local view of a mobile node in time which can facilitate the forwarding decision in the design of net- work protocols. In this paper, we propose a predictive syn- chronization solution to construct the updated and synchro- nized local view. Based on neighbors' historical informa- tion extracted from "Hello" messages, a node can track its time difference with any neighbor. Then the node can pre- dict each neighbor's future location at the same time based on certain mobility prediction model to construct synchro- nized neighborhood view by collecting predicted locations. Simulation results validate the accuracy of our proposed tracking schemes. 1
