Abstract

Opportunistic routing (OR) takes advantage of the broadcast nature and spatial diversity of wireless transmission to improve the performance of wireless ad-hoc networks. Instead of using a predetermined path to send packets, OR postpones the choice of the next-hop to the receiver side, and lets the multiple receivers of a packet to coordinate and decide which one will be the forwarder. Existing OR protocols choose the next-hop forwarder based on a predefined candidate list, which is calculated using single network metrics. In this paper, we propose TLG - Topology and Link quality-aware Geographical opportunistic routing protocol. TLG uses multiple network metrics such as network topology, link quality, and geographic location to implement the coordination mechanism of OR. We compare TLG with well-known existing solutions and simulation results show that TLG outperforms others in terms of both QoS and QoE metrics.
