In urban areas including shopping malls and stations with many people, it is important to utilize various information which those people have obtained. In this paper, we propose a method for information registration and retrieval in MANET which achieves small communication cost and short response time. In our method, we divide the whole application field into multiple sub-areas and classify records into several categories so that mobile terminals in an area holds records with a category. Each area is associated with a category so that the number of queries for the category becomes the largest in the area. Thus, mobile users search records with a certain category by sending a query to nodes in the particular area using existing protocol such as LBM (Location-Based Multicast). Through simulations supposing actual urban area near Osaka station, we have confirmed that our method achieves practical communication cost and performance for information retrieval in MANET.
