Although studies on face-routing can overcome the failure of the data transmission, they lead to much energy consumption due to frequent data transmissions between adjacent nodes for carrying out the rule of face-routing. To avoid the frequent data transmissions, several face-routing schemes have been recently proposed to transmit data packets to the farthest-neighbor node. However, they happen with many data retransmissions because the farthest-neighbor node has a relatively low transmission success ratio. To solve this problem, we propose a new face-routing scheme that determines the most appropriate neighbor node to balance the trade-off between energy efficiency and transmission reliability with two viewpoints. The first viewpoint focuses on how to increase the distance progress of the data delivery in one-hop range to enhance energy efficiency. After that, the second viewpoint focuses on how to increase the success ratio of the data delivery to enhance the transmission reliability. As a result of the simulation, it was confirmed that the proposed method achieves better performance in terms of energy efficiency than existing face-routing research, and it is better than recent face-routing research in terms of reliability and retransmission.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21082746","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,13]],"date-time":"2021-04-13T12:34:50Z","timestamp":1618317290000},"page":"2746","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Energy-Efficient and Reliable Face-Routing Scheme in Wireless Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5817-4623","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyunchong","family":"Cho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Computer and Information Communication, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju 28644, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3073-3876","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sangdae","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Computer Science and Engineering, Kongju National University, Cheonan 31080, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2139-8746","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seungmin","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Computer Science and Engineering, Kongju National University, Cheonan 31080, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0422-0647","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Euisin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Communications Engineering, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju 28644, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sang-Ha","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102","DOI":"10.1109\/MCOM.2002.1024422","article-title":"A survey on sensor networks","volume":"40","author":"Akyildiz","year":"2002","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
