It is now commonly accepted that the unit disk graph used to model the physical layer in wireless networks does not reflect real radio transmissions, and that the lognormal shadowing model better suits to experimental simulations. Previous work on realistic scenarios focused on unicast, while broadcast requirements are fundamentally different and cannot be derived from unicast case. Therefore, broadcast protocols must be adapted in order to still be efficient under realistic assumptions. In this paper, we study the well-known multipoint relay protocol (MPR). In the latter, each node has to choose a set of neighbors to act as relays in order to cover the whole 2-hop neighborhood. We give experimental results showing that the original method provided to select the set of relays does not give good results with the realistic model. We also provide three new heuristics in replacement and their performances which demonstrate that they better suit to the considered model. The first one maximizes the probability of correct reception between the node and the considered relays multiplied by their coverage in the 2-hop neighborhood. The second one replaces the coverage by the average of the probabilities of correct reception between the considered neighbor and the 2-hop neighbors it covers. Finally, the third heuristic keeps the same concept as the second one, but tries to maximize the coverage level of the 2-hop neighborhood: 2-hop neighbors are still being considered as uncovered while their coverage level is not higher than a given coverage threshold, many neighbors may thus be selected to cover the same 2-hop neighbors.
It is efficient using the unit disk graph model. It is used in the well-known standardized routing protocol @cite_10 . It can be used for other miscellaneous purposes (, computing connected dominating sets @cite_6 ).

In this paper we study a model for ad-hoc networks close enough to reality as to represent existing networks, being at the same time concise enough to promote strong theoretical results. The Quasi Unit Disk Graph model contains all edges shorter than a parameter d between 0 and 1 and no edges longer than 1.We show that .in comparison to the cost known on Unit Disk Graphs .the complexity results in this model contain the additional factor 1 d2. We prove that in Quasi Unit Disk Graphs flooding is an asymptotically message-optimal routing technique, provide a geometric routing algorithm being more efficient above all in dense networks, and show that classic geometric routing is possible with the same performance guarantees as for Unit Disk Graphs if d = 1 v2. In this paper, we presented a fully distributed algorithm to compute a planar subgraph of the underlying wireless connectivity graph. We considered the idealized unit disk graph model in which nodes are assumed to be connected if and only if nodes are within their transmission range. The main contribution of this work is a fully distributed algorithm to extract the connected, planar graph for routing in the wireless networks. The communication cost of the proposed algorithm is O(d log d) bits, where d is the degree of anode. In addition, this paper also presented a geometric routing algorithm. The algorithm is fully distributed and nodes know only the position of other nodes and can communicate with neighboring nodes in their transmission range Compact routing addresses the tradeoff between table sizes and stretch, which is the worst-case ratio between the length of the path a packet is routed through by the scheme and the length of an actual shortest path from source to destination. We adapt the compact routing scheme by Thorup and Zwick [2001] to optimize it for power-law graphs. We analyze our adapted routing scheme based on the theory of unweighted random power-law graphs with fixed expected degree sequence by [2000]. Our result is the first analytical bound coupled to the parameter of the power-law graph model for a compact routing scheme. Let n denote the number of nodes in the network. We provide a labeled routing scheme that, after a stretch--5 handshaking step (similar to DNS lookup in TCP IP), routes messages along stretch--3 paths. We prove that, instead of routing tables with O(n1 2) bits (O suppresses factors logarithmic in n) as in the general scheme by Thorup and Zwick, expected sizes of O(nγ log n) bits are sufficient, and that all the routing tables can be constructed at once in expected time O(n1+γ log n), with γ = τ-22 τ-3 + e, where τ∈(2,3) is the power-law exponent and e 0 (which implies e With the same techniques as for the compact routing scheme, we also adapt the approximate distance oracle by Thorup and Zwick [2001, 2005] for stretch-3 and we obtain a new upper bound of expected O(n1+γ) for space and preprocessing for random power-law graphs. Our distance oracle is the first one optimized for power-law graphs. Furthermore, we provide a linear-space data structure that can answer 5--approximate distance queries in time at most O(n1 4+e) (similar to γ, the exponent actually depends on τ and lies between e and 1 4 + e). We adapt the compact routing scheme by Thorup and Zwick to optimize it for power-law graphs. We analyze our adapted routing scheme based on the theory of unweighted random power-law graphs with fixed expected degree sequence by Aiello, Chung, and Lu. Our result is the first theoretical bound coupled to the parameter of the power-law graph model for a compact routing scheme. In particular, we prove that, for stretch 3, instead of routing tables with O(n1 2) bits as in the general scheme by Thorup and Zwick, expected sizes of O(nγ log n) bits are sufficient, and that all the routing tables can be constructed at once in expected time O(n1 + γ log n), with γ = τ - 2 2τ - 3 + Ɛ, where τ ∈ (2, 3) is the power-law exponent and Ɛ > 0. Both bounds also hold with probability at least 1 - 1 n (independent of Ɛ). The routing scheme is a labeled scheme, requiring a stretch-5 handshaking step and using addresses and message headers with O(log n log log n) bits, with probability at least 1 - o(1). We further demonstrate the effectiveness of our scheme by simulations on real-world graphs as well as synthetic power-law graphs. With the same techniques as for the compact routing scheme, we also adapt the approximate distance oracle by Thorup and Zwick for stretch 3 and obtain a new upper bound of expected O(n1+γ) for space and preprocessing.
