Abstract
Geographic routing has been widely hailed as the most promising
approach to generally scalable wireless routing. However, the
correctness of all currently proposed geographic routing algorithms
relies on idealized assumptions
about radios and their resulting connectivity graphs.
We use testbed measurements to show that these
idealized assumptions are grossly violated by real radios, and that
these violations cause persistent failures in geographic routing,
even on static topologies.
Having identified this problem, we then fix it by proposing the
Cross-Link Detection Protocol (CLDP), which enables provably correct
geographic routing on arbitrary connectivity graphs. We
confirm in simulation and further testbed measurements that CLDP
is not only correct but practical: it incurs low overhead, exhibits
low path stretch, always succeeds in real, static wireless networks,
and converges quickly after topology changes.
