In this paper, we extend previous work on geographic random forwarding (GeRaF) by considering a more efficient paradigm whereby on/off cycles are exploited and every node can participate to packet relaying, as long as it wakes up during any handshake procedure. The protocol is fully distributed, as routing decisions are made hop by hop based on geographic metrics and using a joint channel acces...

Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is suffering from the frequent link breakage and low packet delivery rate, which challenges routing protocols. Greedy forwarding is widely adopted in geographic routing protocols for VANETs since it selects the neighbour that is geographically closer to the destination as the next hop and is considered efficient. Because of the highly dynamic network topology an...

Secured Two Phase Geographic Greedy Forwarding (SecuTPGF) is a geographic greedy forwarding protocol for transmitting multimedia data stream in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) in a secure and reliable manner. Cryptographic and MAC authentication mechanisms are used to implement security for both node and message authentication. In this paper, a modified version of SecuTPGF, the GSTP ...

As sensor networks are deployed over various terrains, the complexity of their topology continues to grow. Voids in networks often cause existing geographic routing algorithms to fail. In this paper, we introduce a novel concept: virtual position to address this issue. A virtual position is the middle position of all direct neighbors of a node. Such virtual position reflects the neighborhood of...

Terminode routing, defined for potentially very large mobile ad hoc networks, forwards packets along anchored paths. An anchored path is a list of fixed geographic points, called anchors. Given that geographic points do not move, the advantage to traditional routing paths is that an anchored path is always ”valid”. In order to forward packets along anchored paths, the source needs to acquire th...

In this paper, we propose an efficient Two-Phase geographic Greedy Forwarding (TPGF) routing algorithm for WMSNs. TPGF takes into account both the requirements of real time multimedia transmission and the realistic characteristics of WMSNs. It finds one shortest (near-shortest) path per execution and can be executed repeatedly to find more on-demand shortest (near-shortest) node-disjoint routin...

This paper examine that the geographic routing protocols are used in the mobile ad hoc networks. In routing protocols defines that each node identify the position of one hop neighbours, and also the packets are forwarded to a neighbours that is closer to the destination. This forwarding strategy should prevent radio communications between node. However, inexpensive position devices do not provi...

Nodes in a sensor network, operating on power limited batteries, must save power to minimize the need for battery replacement. We note that the range of transmission has a significant effect on the power consumption of both the transmitting node and listeners. This paper first presents a Geographical Power Efficient Routing (GPER) protocol for sensor networks. Each sensor node makes local decis...

In wireless sensor networks, an important issue of Geographic Routing is “local minimum” problem, which is caused by “hole” that blocks the greedy forwarding process. Existing geographic routing algorithms use perimeter routing strategies to find a long detour path when such a situation occurs. To avoid the long detour path, recent research focuses on detecting the hole in advance, then the nod...

Geographic routing protocols for wireless sensor networks are considered. While a combination of greedy and face routing is a solution with a good performance well documented in the open literature, it requires the procedure of network graph planarization which is difficult to implement in real wireless networks. In this document, the possibilities of substituting face routing are analysed. It ...
