Position Unaware Routing All the routing protocols that we have

discussed so far can be called position unaware routing.

Each node has an address and each node keeps track of the neighbours´ addresses.

However, when a message has to be sent from a source to a destination, the source node is not aware of the current position of the destination.

Position Aware Routing In contrast, in position aware routing, a

source node knows the position or location of the destination node.

The position information can be collected in different ways : From the direction and strength of the

received wireless signals Through interfacing with a low-power Global

Positioning System (GPS) and a satellite updating the positions of the nodes by sending signals to this GPS device.
