While opportunistic packet forwarding has been extensively studied in the case of single hop
communication, only recently has opportunistic forwarding for multihop networks been …

Opportunistic routing schemes that exploit the broadcast nature of wireless transmissions for
selecting the best next-hop at that instant among a set of candidates are being actively …

(OR) gained a lot of attention as a way to improve the performance of wireless multi-hop Ad-
hoc networks and wireless sensor networks. OR takes advantage of the broadcast nature of …

Opportunistic Routing (OR) is a new class of routing protocols that selects the next-hop
forwarder on-the-fly. It takes advantage of the broadcast nature of the wireless medium. By …

In opportunistic forwarding, a node randomly relays packets to one of its neighbors based on
local information, without the knowledge of global topology. Each intermediate node …

Opportunistic forwarding is a simple scheme for packet routing in ad hoc wireless networks
such as duty cycling sensor networks in which reducing energy consumption is a principal …

A wireless network may route packets more efficiently if forwarding decisions are taken
based on which downstream nodes actually receive packets from the source or intermediate …

Routing protocols for multi-hop wireless networks have traditionally focused on finding the
best path for forwarding packets between a pair of nodes. While such single-path forwarding …

Routing in multi-hop wireless networks presents a great challenge mainly due to unreliable
wireless links and interference among concurrent transmissions. Recently, a new routing …

This book provides an introduction to opportunistic routing an emerging technology
designed to improve the packet forwarding reliability, network capacity and energy efficiency …
