A Brownian Motion Model for Last Encounter Routing

— We use a mathematical model based on Brownian motion to analyze the performance of Last Encounter Routing (LER), a routing protocol for ad hoc networks. Our results show that, under our model, LER outperforms the simple flooding mechanism employed by reactive protocols.
