We introduce and evaluate a very simple landmark-based network partition technique called Hierarchical Bipartition Routing (HBR) to support routing with delivery guarantee in wireless ad hoc sensor networks. It is a simple routing protocol that can easily be combined with any other greedy routing algorithm to obtain delivery guarantee. The efficiency of HBR increases if the network is sparse and contains obstacles. The space necessary to store the additional routing information at a node u is on average not larger than the size necessary to store the IDs of the neighbors of u. The amount of work to setup the complete data structure is on average proportional to flooding the entire network log(n) times, where n is the total number of sensor nodes. We evaluate the performance of HBR in combination with two simple energy-aware geographic greedy routing algorithms based on physical coordinates and virtual coordinates, respectively. Our simulations show that the difference between using HBR and a weighted shortest path to escape a dead-end is only a few percent in typical cases.
Greedy routing algorithms can easily be extended by taking into account power consumption. Power aware greedy routing in most cases tries to minimize the ratio of the energy consumed by a transmission to the progress made. The progress is the distance reduction towards the destination. This cost over progress (COP) power-aware framework is first introduced in @cite_13 . If the cost is equal for all connections, we obtain the simple greedy algorithm as already discussed above @cite_28 . If the cost of a connection is proportional to the distance between the nodes, the resulting routing is similar to compass routing @cite_33 .

A cost aware metric for wireless networks based on remaining battery power at nodes was proposed for shortest-cost routing algorithms, assuming constant transmission power. Power-aware metrics, where transmission power depends on distance between nodes and corresponding shortest power algorithms were also proposed. We define a power-cost metric based on the combination of both node's lifetime and distance-based power metrics. We investigate some properties of power adjusted transmissions and show that, if additional nodes can be placed at desired locations between two nodes at distance d, the transmission power can be made linear in d as opposed to d sup spl alpha dependence for spl alpha spl ges 2. This provides basis for power, cost, and power-cost localized routing algorithms where nodes make routing decisions solely on the basis, of location of their neighbors and destination. The power-aware routing algorithm attempts to minimize the total power needed to route a message between a source and a destination. The cost-aware routing algorithm is aimed at extending the battery's worst-case lifetime at each node. The combined power-cost localized routing algorithm attempts to minimize the total power needed and to avoid nodes with a short battery's remaining lifetime. We prove that the proposed localized power, cost, and power-cost efficient routing algorithms are loop-free and show their efficiency by experiments. In this article we propose several new progress based, localized, power, and cost aware algorithms for routing in ad hoc wireless networks. These algorithms attempt to minimize the total power and or cost needed to route a message from source to destination. In localized algorithms, each node makes routing decisions solely on the basis of location of itself, its neighbors and destination. The new algorithms are based on the notion of proportional progress. A node currently holding the packet will forward it to a neighbor, closer to destination than itself, which minimizes the ratio of power and or cost to reach that neighbor, and the progress made, measured as the reduction in distance to destination, or projection along the line to destination. First, we propose Power Progress, Iterative Power Progress, Projection Power Progress, and Iterative Projection Power Progress algorithms, where the proportional progress is defined in terms of power measure. The power metrics are then replaced by cost or power-co... We propose a novel localized routing protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSN) that is energy-efficient and guarantees delivery. We prove that it is constant factor of the optimum for dense networks. To forward a packet, a node s in graph G computes the cost of the energy weighted shortest path (SP) between s and each of its neighbors which are closer to the destination than itself. It then selects node x which minimizes the ratio of the cost of the SP to the progress towards the destination. It then sends the message to the first node on the SP from s to x: say node x'. Node x' restarts the same greedy routing process until the destination is reached or the routing fails. To recover from failure, our algorithm invokes face routing that guarantees delivery. This work is the first to optimize energy consumption of face routing. First, we build a connected dominating set from graph G, second we compute its Gabriel graph to obtain the planar graph G'. Face routing is applied on G' only to decide which edges to follow in the recovery process. On each edge, greedy routing is used. This two-phase (greedy-Face) end-to-end routing process (EtE) reiterates until the final destination is reached. Simulation results show that EtE outperforms several existing geographical routing on energy consumption metric. This paper considers the problem of designing power efficient routing with guaranteed delivery for sensor networks with known distances between neighbors but unknown geographic locations. We propose Hector, a hybrid energy efficient tree-based optimized routing protocol, based on two sets of virtual coordinates. One set is based on rooted tree coordinates, and the other is based on hop distances toward several landmarks. In our algorithm, the node currently holding the packet forwards it to its neighbor that optimizes ratio of power cost over distance progress with landmark coordinates, among nodes that reduce landmark coordinates and do not increase tree coordinates. If such a node does not exist then forwarding is made to the neighbor that reduces tree based distance and optimizes power cost over tree distance progress ratio. Our simulations show the superiority of our algorithm over existing alternatives while guaranteeing delivery, and only up to 30 additional power compared to centralized shortest weighted path algorithm.
