Mobile ad hoc networks usually use various forms of flooding to discover the location and route of a node or to diffuse a given message. In recent years, using directional antennas to reduce the amount of interference and collisions in mobile ad hoc networks has become more and more popular Due to the problem of broadcast storm caused by flooding route requests; Route Discover Algorithm GFVDA & GFVDAF for Ad Hoc networks using directional antennas is introduced in this paper. With directional
antennas, the flooding of route request packets is limited among selected forwarding nodes. By constructing a honeycomb pattern, the forwarding nodes which form the honeycomb vertices are selected. The transmissions between forwarding nodes which form the honeycomb edges are reshaped according to certain rules to optimize flow directions. Through simulations we evaluate the performance of GFVDA & GFVDAF
using route discovery success rate, average number of nodes and forwarding involved in the route discovery process. Our goal is reducing the number of route request broadcasts by giving preference to successively propagating a route request via neighboring nodes that have the largest number of neighbors.
