1 GPSR: Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing for Wireless Networks B. Karp, H. T. Kung Borrowed some Richard Yang‘s slides

2 Motivation r A sensor net consists of hundreds or thousands of nodes m Scalability is the issue m Existing ad hoc net protocols, e.g., DSR, AODV, ZRP, require nodes to cache e2e route information m Dynamic topology changes m Mobility r Reduce caching overhead m Hierarchical routing is usually based on well defined, rarely changing administrative boundaries m Geographic routing Use location for routing

3 Scalability metrics r Routing protocol msg cost m How many control packets sent? r Per node state m How much storage per node is required? r E2E packet delivery success rate

4 Assumptions r Every node knows its location m Positioning devices like GPS m Localization r A source can get the location of the destination r MAC r Link bidirectionality

5 Geographic Routing: Greedy Routing S D Closest to D A - Find neighbors who are closer to the destination - Forward the packet to the neighbor closest to the destination

6 Benefits of GF r A node only needs to remember the location info of one-hop neighbors r Routing decisions can be dynamically made

7 Greedy Forwarding does NOT always work r If the network is dense enough that each interior node has a neighbor in every 2  /3 angular sector, GF will always succeed GF fails

8 Dealing with Void: Right-Hand Rule r Apply the right-hand rule to traverse the edges of a void m Pick the next anticlockwise edge m Traditionally used to get out of a maze

9 Right-Hand Rule Does Not Work with Cross Edges u z w D x x originates a packet to u Right-hand rule results in the tour x-u-z-w-u-x

10 Remove Crossing Edge u z w D x Make the graph planar Remove (w,z) from the graph Right-hand rule results in the tour x-u-z-v-x

11 Make a Graph Planar  Convert a connectivity graph to planar non- crossing graph by removing “bad” edges m Ensure the original graph will not be disconnected m Two types of planar graphs: Relative Neighborhood Graph (RNG) Gabriel Graph (GG)

12 Relative Neighborhood Graph r Connection uv can exist if  w  u, v, d(u,v) < max[d(u,w),d(v,w)] not empty  remove uv

13 Gabriel Graph r An edge (u,v) exists between vertices u and v if no other vertex w is present within the circle whose diameter is uv.  w  u, v, d 2 (u,v) < [d 2 (u,w) + d 2 (v,w)] Not empty  remove uv

14 Properties of GG and RNG r RNG is a sub-graph of GG m Because RNG removes more edges r If the original graph is connected, RNG is also connected RNG GG

16 GPSR Greedy ForwardingPerimeter Forwarding greedy fails have left local maxima greedy works greedy fails

17 Implementation Issues r Graph planarization m RNG & GG planarization depend on having the current location info of a node’s neighbors m Mobility may cause problems m Re-planarize when a node enters or leaves the radio range What if a node only moves in the radio range? To avoid this problem, the graph should be re-planarized for every beacon msg m Also, assumes a circular radio transmission model m In general, it could be harder & more expensive than it sounds

18 Performance evaluation r Simulation in ns-2 r Baseline: DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) r Random waypoint model m A node chooses a destination uniformly at random m Choose velocity uniformly at random in the configurable range – simulated max velocity 20m/s m A node pauses after arriving at a waypoint – 300, 600 & 900 pause times

19 r 50, 112 & 200 nodes m 22 sending nodes & 30 flows m About 20 neighbors for each node – very dense m CBR (2Kbps) r Nominal radio range: 250m ( WaveLan radio) r Each simulation takes 900 seconds r Take an average of the six different randomly generated motion patterns
