USE OF LOCATION AIDED ALGORITHM USING WI-FI IN INDOOR AD-HOC SYSTEMS

Mobile Ad-Hoc networks are designed to establish a network anytime and anywhere. Unlike other networks , ad-hoc does not require a fixed infrastructure. There are various rtechniques which are related to ad-hoc netwo rking like Destination Sequenced Distance Vector Protocol (DSDV), Dynamic Source Routing Protocol (DSR) and Ad-Hoc On Demand Distance Vector Protocol (AODV). One such routing protocol named Lo cation Aided Routing uses GPS (Global Positioning S ystem) to get the coordinates of the nodes which would assist in routin g. There is a definite set of drawbacks where GPS i s used to get the location for the nodes in the ad-hoc network which is implemente d indoor. In this paper, we propose an alternative of using Wi-Fi Positioning System to get the location of the co-ordinates whic h may prove to be a better solution than GPS indoor .
