Abstract
Communications voids, where geographic greedy forwarding fails to move a packet further towards its destination, are an important issue for geographic routing in wireless networks. This article presents an overview of the void problem and surveys the currently available void-handling techniques (as of July 2006) for geographic routing. In the survey, we classify these void-handling techniques into six categories, each designed with a different approach, that is, planar-graph-based, geometric, flooding-based, costbased, heuristic, and hybrid. For each category, we present its basic principle and illustrate some classic techniques as well as the latest advances. We also provide a qualitative comparison of these techniques and discuss some possible directions of future research.

Scoped Bellman-Ford geographic routing for large dynamic wireless sensor networks

TL;DR: Analytical and simulation results show that SBFR outperforms other routing protocols not only because of its robustness and scalability but also its practicality and simplicity.

Wireless Sensor Networks — Routing Protocols

TL;DR: This chapter looks at different topologies of the WSNs, say flat and hierarchical networks and compare the two topologies from the routing efficiency point of view and some other routing protocols in those networks that aim at providing quality of service in sensor networks and can possibly control the power consumption and therefore the lifetime of the networks.

Improvised geographic scheme for greedy perimeter stateless routing

TL;DR: This work proposes an improvised RNG-GG algorithm which makes sure to avoid the partitioning of the underlying connected graph and the cross-link, which remain in the node connectivity graph.

The capacity of wireless networks

TL;DR: When n identical randomly located nodes, each capable of transmitting at W bits per second and using a fixed range, form a wireless network, the throughput /spl lambda/(n) obtainable by each node for a randomly chosen destination is /spl Theta/(W//spl radic/(nlogn)) bits persecond under a noninterference protocol.
