Abstract: The mobile ad-hoc network is a combination of mobile communication and computer network, in which users can move freely and randomly to maintain communication. The randomness of node mobility in such network brings difficulties to research of routing. On the other hand, the social relations between nodes in the mobile ad-hoc network have a direct impact on the routing process. This paper proposes a novel routing approach, in which the optimal path is calculated based on the predefined principle of most reliable path. The optimal path is represented through the adjacency possibility between the network nodes. Such adjacency possibility is calculated by the mobility of nodes and the social relationship strength with other node. Finally, the routing method proposed in this paper is compared with the traditional optimized link state routing (OLSR) through a simulation experiment. The results show that the proposed method has a better performance.
