Abstract

This paper presents GPR (Geographic Probabilistic Routing protocol), an opportunistic routing protocol worked between mesh routers in WMNs (Wireless Mesh Networks). In GPR, nodes detect the link condition by probe packets. In order to send a packet, the sender selects a candidate subset. The nodes who successfully received the packet send ACK according to their priority. If there are no ACKs from other candidates, instead of sending ACK immediately, the candidate broadcasts ACK and transmits the packet at transmission-probability. The extensive simulation results show that GPR is promising to achieve higher throughput and better scalability compared to the reference method.
