“…We are persuaded that opportunistic routing (OR), will get an even greater importance and attention within the routing for industrial wireless sensor networks since this new routing paradigm may present several merits to the IWSNs, by increasing reliability, that is, a main IWSN's challenge; OR transmits a packet through any possible link rather than one specified link. In other words, it acts like has additional backup links and the probability of transmission failure is reduced [24]. It also provides the highest throughput, since all neighboring nodes that are closer to the destination may overhear a data packet and may be a candidate to forward the packet to its destination.…”

Recently, industrial wireless sensor networks have attracted more attention, due to their large benefits in terms of faster installation, cost savings, and flexibility. Nevertheless, the acceptance of wireless sensor networks by the industrial community is not without its difficulties. In fact, several research efforts have been made in this field and a number of state-of-the-art reviews exist, presenting the current standards, the challenges, and the design principles. However, a comprehensive review on routing protocols appears to be missing. In this paper, we give a survey on routing protocols for industrial monitoring applications of the wireless sensor networks technology, and we present their limitations and weaknesses according to the industrial requirements.

“…Increase transmission range: OR considers all possible links, including good quality shortranged links and poor quality long-ranged links, within one transmission; therefore, a transmission may directly jump to the farthest relay which successfully receives the packet. Consequently, performance can be improved [24].…”

“…Nevertheless, the dynamic nature of UAVs, e.g., UAV mobility in a 3D space, leads to frequent topology changes, resulting in constant routing table updates, routing inconsistency, or route failures. In this context, beaconless Opportunistic Routing (OR) acts in a completely distributed manner to pick up one of the possible relay nodes to forward packets [5]. Nodes do not need prior establishment of routes for data transmission, avoiding frequent beacon exchange for route maintenance or discovery, and saving scarce network resources, such as bandwidth and energy.…”

Abstract. User experience on watching live videos must be satisfactory even under the influence of different network conditions and topology changes, such as happening in Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs). Routing services for video dissemination over FANETs must be able to adapt routing decisions at runtime to meet Quality of Experience (QoE) requirements. In this paper, we introduce an adaptive beaconless opportunistic routing protocol for video dissemination over FANETs with QoE support, by taking into account multiple types of context information, such as link quality, residual energy, buffer state, as well as geographic information and node mobility in a 3D space. The proposed protocol takes into account Bayesian networks to define weight vectors and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to adjust the degree of importance for the context information based on instantaneous values. It also includes a position prediction to monitor the distance between two nodes in order to detect possible route failure.

“…However, end-to-end routes might be subject to frequent interruptions or may not exist at all times. In this context, beaconless Opportunistic Routing (OR) protocols enable packet transmission even in case of continuous topology changes [5]. In addition, the routing service should detect and recover from route failures, enabling a smoother operation.…”

Abstract-A reliable and robust routing service for Flying AdHoc Networks (FANETs) must be able to adapt to topology changes. User experience on watching live video sequences must also be satisfactory even in scenarios with buffer overflow and high packet loss ratio. In this paper, we introduce a Cross-layer Link quality and Geographical-aware beaconless opportunistic routing protocol (XLinGO). It enhances the transmission of simultaneous multiple video flows over FANETs by creating and keeping reliable persistent multi-hop routes. XLinGO considers a set of cross-layer and human-related information for routing decisions, as performance metrics and Quality of Experience (QoE). Performance evaluation shows that XLinGO achieves multimedia dissemination with QoE support and robustness in a multi-hop, multi-flow, and mobile network environments.
