In this paper we explore the interplay of node density, mobility and cooperation in routing decisions for mobile networks. Specifically, routing is based on a novel metric that jointly accounts for all three aforementioned attributes and helps identify the most promising venue available for getting the message closer/faster to the destination, even in dynamically changing environments. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is validated through simulations.
