Networks that are immune to disasters or similar occurrences are much in demand these days. As one of the communication options in the event of a disaster, MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Network) has been evaluated. MANET has two kinds of route control protocols: topology-based and location-aided protocols. We focus on the location-aided protocol and propose a method enabling nodes that cannot obtain location data to participate in MANET. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method and show its effectiveness.
