LORD is a locality-based distributed data search system proposed for large-scale, highly mobile wireless networks. It divides the network area into geographic regions and uses region-based geographic routing for data publishing and querying. Each region is managed by a landmark node. LORD employs parallel file fetching, back-tracking on node mobility, and coloring-based partial replication of metadata to achieve scalability, mobility resilience, and low overhead. Evaluation shows LORD outperforms other approaches in success rate, path length, and overhead.
