A greedy forwarding algorithm is one of the most suitable solutions for routing in vehicular ad-hoc networks. Compared to conventional routing protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks, greedy forwarding based routing protocols maintain only local information of neighbors instead of per-destination routing entries, and thus they show better performance in highly-mobile vehicular ad-hoc networks. With greedy forwarding, each node learns its geographical position and periodically broadcasts a beacon message including its position information. Based on the position information, each node selects a neighbor node located closest to the destination node as the next forwarder. One of the most serious problems in greedy forwarding is the lost link problem due to the mobility of nodes. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to reduce the lost link problem. The proposed algorithm aims to find an efficient and stable routing path by taking account of the position of neighbors and the last beacon reception time. Our simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the legacy greedy algorithm and its variants.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), geographic greedy forwarding fails to move a packet further towards its destination if the sender does not have any closer node to the destination in its one hop transmission region. In this paper, we propose a enhanced geographic routing, called CGR(Cost based Geographic Routing) for efficient data delivery against void problem environment. CGR first establishes Shadow Bound Region and then accomplishes Renewing Cost Function Algorithm for effective greedy forwarding data delivery. Our simulation results show significant improvements compared with existing schemes in terms of routing path length, success delivery ratio and energy efficiency.

논문에서는 로우듀티사이클 환경을 고려하여 목적지까지 데이터 전송의 신뢰성뿐만 아니라 낮은 데이터 지연도 보장하는 DIGF (Delay Improvement Greedy Forwarding) 기법을 제안한다. 초기에 제안된 그리디 포워텅 기법들은 무선링크가 갖는 비신뢰성 및 비대칭성의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 데이터 전송 성공률과 에너지 효율을 높이는 기법이 제안되었다. 하지만 많은 그리디 포워텅 기법들은 노드들이 데이터를 송수신하기 위해 대기하고 있는 수신대기상태로 인한 많은 에너지 소모를 고려하지 않아 네트워크 라이프타임을 감소시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 제안기법인 DIGF는 무선링크의 비신뢰성과 비대칭성을 고려할 뿐만 아니라 로우듀티사이클 환경을 고려한다. 또한 로우듀티사이클 환경을 고려할 때 발생되는 높은 수면지연성 (Sleep latency) 을 해결하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하여 낮은 전송지연과 신뢰성 있는 데이터 전송을 보장한다.

위치기반 라우팅 기법들은 소스에서 목적지노드로 데이터 패킷을 전송하기 위한 목적으로 널리 사용된다. 오리지널 그리디 포워딩 기법은 실제 무선링크의 신뢰성을 고려하지 않아 수많은 데이터 패킷 재전송이 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 PRR ${\times}$ Distance 기법이 제안되었지만 실제 무선링크의 비대칭성을 고려하지 않아 여전히 많은 재전송이 발생한다. 제안기법은 포워딩할 데이터 패킷을 가진 현재 노드의 전송 반경 내에서 전송 가능한 1-hop과 2-hop 라우팅 경로를 찾는다. 이들 라우팅 경로들 중 기대전송비용이 최소가 되는 경로를 선택하여 데이터와 ACK 패킷을 전송한다. 시뮬레이션을 결과를 통해 제안기법이 기존 기법들보다 높은 신뢰성과 에너지 효율을 가짐을 보인다.

V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) is a special kind of VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc Network), which has high mobility and frequent topology changes and causes the link breakage problem. To resolve this problem, geographic routing protocols such as greedy forwarding are proposed. However, the greedy forwarding approach selects the node closest to the destination node as the transfer node within the transmission range so that it may cause many problems owing to many intersections and many changes in vehicular traffic in urban areas. The paper proposes a greedy perimeter urban routing (GPUR) algorithm considering the presence of 2-hop neighbor nodes and the road characteristics. Simulation results using ns-2 reveal that the proposed GPUR algorithm significantly reduces the routing error problem and the probability of local maximum than the existing routing protocols.

VANET(Vehicular Ad-hoc Network)은 노드를 차량으로 가정하는 개념의 MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc Network)로서 노드의 빠른 이동으로 인해 급격한 토폴로지의 변화가 일어난다. 하지만 차량 노드의 이동은 도로 상에서 제한되어 있기 때문에 토폴로지에 대한 상대적인 예측 가능성을 가지고 있다. 이는 교통이 혼잡한 도로 환경에서 그리디 기법을 이용하여 다음 홉을 결정할 때 보다 높은 정확성을 제공할 수 있어 경유 노드의 수와 포워딩 실패를 최소화한다. 본 논문은 위기 정보와 운전 시스템 정보를 기반으로 하는 차량 간 통신 라우팅 최적화 기법을 제안하고 기존의 GPSR(Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing) 기법과 SAR(Spatial Aware Routing) 기법과의 비교를 통해 효율성과 신뢰성의 향상을 증명하였다.

Greedy routing which is easy to apply to geographic wireless sensor networks is frequently used. Greedy routing works well in dense networks whereas in sparse networks it may fail. When greedy routing fails, it needs a recovery algorithm to get out of the communication void. However, additional recovery algorithm causes problems that increase both the amount of packet transmission and energy consumption. Communication void is a condition where all neighbor nodes are further away from the destination than the node currently holding a packet and it therefore cannot forward a packet using greedy forwarding. Therefore we propose a VODUA(Virtually Ordered Distance Upgrade Algorithm) as a novel idea to improve and solve the problem of void. In VODUA, nodes exchange routing graphs that indicate information of connection among the nodes and if there exist a stuck node that cannot forward packets, it is terminated using Distance Cost(DC). In this study, we indicate that packets reach successfully their destination while avoiding void through upgrading of DC. We designed the VODUA algorithm to find valid routes through faster delivery and less energy consumption without requirement for an additional recovery algorithm. Moreover, by using VODUA, a network can be adapted rapidly to node's failure or topological change. This is because the algorithm utilizes information of single hop instead of topological information of entire network. Simulation results show that VODUA can deliver packets from source node to destination with shorter time and less hops than other pre-existing algorithms like GPSR and DUA.

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) cause link disconnection problems due to the rapid speed and the frequent moving direction change of vehicles. Link disconnection in vehicle-to-vehicle communication is an important issue that must be solved because it decreases the reliability of packet forwarding. From the characteristics of VANETs, greedy forwarding protocols using the position information based on the inter-vehicle distance have gained attention. However, greedy forwarding protocols do not perform well in the urban environment where the direction of the vehicle changes greatly. It is because greedy forwarding protocols select the neighbor vehicle that is closest to the destination vehicle as the next transmission vehicle. In this paper, we propose a greedy anycast forwarding (GAF) protocol to improve the reliability of the inter-vehicle communication. The proposed GAF protocol combines the greedy forwarding scheme and the anycast forwarding method. Simulation results show that the GAF protocol can provide a better packet delivery rate than existing greedy forwarding protocols.

In wireless sensor networks, geographic routing is known as an efficient method to transmit the data packet using the location information. Geographic routing relies on two techniques: greedy forwarding and face routing. Face routing helps to recover from greedy routing fail and is based on the planar graph in which does not cross each edge. However, the planarization causes frequently short transmission of data packet because it removes other edges except the shortest one. In other words, since the planarization removes the long edges, face routing could not exploit the efficient removed edges of communication graph. This problem brings about the excessive energy consumption of nodes. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient face routing protocol in wireless sensor networks. This proposed protocol searches the removed edges and transmits them via the edges. Simulation shows that the proposed protocol is more efficient in terms of energy consumption than the previous face routing.
