Abstract: The design of routing strategies for networks of mobile nodes has received increasing attention in recent years. In this paper, we propose an adaptive routing strategy that incorporates geographical distance with local traffic information through a tunable parameter h. It is found that there exists an optimal value of h, leading to the maximum traffic throughput of the network. The optimal value of h decreases as the moving speed increases and increases as the communication radius increases. The dependence of the throughput on the moving speed and the communication radius is also studied. Our results show that for a wide range of the parameters, the throughput decreases as the moving speed increases. However, when the value of the parameter is set to be one, the maximum throughput is obtained at a moderate speed. Moreover, we find that the throughput increases with the communication radius.
