Abstract

In this paper, an environment-driven cross-layer optimization scheme is proposed to maximize packet forwarding efficiency. The proposed algorithm is aimed to improve the performance of location-based routing protocol in respect of greedy forwarding and avoid void regions for ubiquitous wireless networks. In greedy forwarding mode, we use a new routing metric IAPS which can estimate the forwarding distance, link quality and the difficulty of channel access during the process of the next hop node selection. When the packet forwarding comes into a local minimum, the proposed scheme uses an opportunistic forwarding method based on competitive advantage to bypass the void regions. NS2 simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can improve network resource utilization and the average throughput, and reduce congestion loss rate of wireless multi-hop network comparison with existing GPSR algorithm.
