IEEE Message-Efficient Beaconless Georouting With Guaranteed Delivery in Wireless Sensor, Ad Hoc, and Actuator Networks
Beaconless georouting algorithms are fully reactive and work without prior knowledge of their neighbors. However, existing approaches can either not guarantee delivery or they require the exchange of complete neighborhood information. We describe two general methods for completely reactive face routing with guaranteed delivery. The Beaconless Forwarder Planarization (BFP) scheme determines correct edges of a local planar subgraph without hearing from all neighbors. Face routing then continues proper...
