Recent experimental research has revealed that the link conditions in realistic wireless networks vary significantly from the ideal disk model and a substantial percentage of links are asymmetric. Existing GF algorithms fail to consider asymmetric links in neighbor discovery and thus discount a significant number of potentially stable routes with good one-way reliability. This paper introduces Asymmetric Geographic Forwarding (A-GF), which discovers asymmetric links in the network, evaluates them for stability (e.g., based on mobility), and uses them to obtain more efficient and shorter routes. A-GF also successfully identifies transient asymmetric links and ignores them to further improve the routing efficiency. Comparisons of A-GF to the original GF algorithm and another related symmetric routing algorithm indicate a decrease in hop count (and therefore latency) and an increase in successful route establishments, with only a small increase in overhead.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jertcs.2011100104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,19]],"date-time":"2011-10-19T12:19:01Z","timestamp":1319026741000},"page":"46-70","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Asymmetric Geographic Forwarding"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Pramita","family":"Mitra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Notre Dame, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Poellabauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Notre Dame, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jertcs.2011100104-0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bose, P., Morin, P., Stojmenovic, I., & Urrutia, J.
