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.

AGRA: AI-augmented geographic routing approach for IoT-based incident-supporting applications

TL;DR: A stateless greedy forwarding is proposed that uses an area knowledge obtained from the satellite imagery (available at the edge cloud) by applying deep learning to proactively avoid the local minimum problem by diverting traffic with an algorithm that emulates electrostatic repulsive forces.

A stateless opportunistic routing protocol for underwater sensor networks

TL;DR: This paper proposes a Stateless Opportunistic Routing Protocol (SORP), in which the void and trapped nodes are locally detected in the different area of network topology to be excluded during the routing phase using a passive participation approach, and indicates that SORP outperforms other protocols regarding the routing performance metrics.

Movement assisted-topology control and geographic routing protocol for underwater sensor networks

TL;DR: A novel anycast greedy geographic forwarding protocol and two topology control mechanisms are presented and it is shown that with these mechanisms, the data packet delivery ratio achieves more than 90% even in hard and difficult scenarios of very sparse or very dense networks.

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.
