The network area is divided into non-overlapping zones. Using a hash function, a node identifier is mapped to a set of zones, in which the location information of the node are stored. We also propose a location information distribution scheme that achieves low rate of outdated location information. Using cross-layer design, the service can tolerate servers mobility and failure, and last for a long time period. Simulation Results show that the proposed location service experiences low overhead and high location information availability and accuracy.Location serviceAd hoc mobile networksBook ChapterSpringer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg10.1007/11814856_24978-3-540-37190-8
