Optimized Location Aided Routing Protocol using Greedy Forwarding Approach in MANET

This paper presents optimized model of location aided routing for mobile ad hoc networks. Optimization is basically done in forwarding strategy and in the procedure to discover and reach to the destination node from source node. Optimized location aided routing protocol (OLAR) limits the search space as well as in reduction in the number of routing messages. This protocol also reduce the participation of intermediate mobile nodes, intermediate mobile nodes are that nodes which are outside of the radio communication ranges of the source and the destination node.
