Abstract/Summary:
Face routing is a simple method for routing in wireless ad-hoc networks. It only uses location information about nodes to do routing and it provably guarantees message delivery in static connected plane graphs. However, a static connected plane graph is often difficult to obtain in a real wireless network.;This thesis extends face routing to more realistic models of wireless ad-hoc networks. We present a new version of face routing that generalizes and simplifies previous face routing protocols and develop techniques to apply face routing directly on general, nonplanar network graphs. We also develop techniques for face routing to deal with changes to the graph that occur during routing. Using these techniques, we create a collection of face routing protocols for a series of increasingly more general graph models and prove the correctness of these protocols.
