We present a novel geographical routing scheme for spontaneous wireless mesh networks.
Greedy geographical routing has many advantages, but suffers from packet losses occurring
at the border of voids. In this paper, we propose a flexible greedy routing scheme that can be
adapted to any variant of geographical routing and works for any connectivity graph, not
necessarily Unit Disk Graphs. The idea is to reactively detect voids, backtrack packets, and
propagate information on blocked sectors to reduce packet loss. We also propose an …
We present a novel geographical routing scheme for spontaneous wireless mesh networks. Greedy geographical routing has many advantages, but suffers from packet losses occurring at the border of voids. In this paper, we propose a flexible greedy routing scheme that can be adapted to any variant of geographical routing and works for any connectivity graph, not necessarily Unit Disk Graphs. The idea is to reactively detect voids, backtrack packets, and propagate information on blocked sectors to reduce packet loss. We also propose an extrapolating algorithm to reduce the latency of void discovery and to limit route stretch. Performance evaluation via simulation shows that our modified greedy routing avoids most of packet losses.
