Abstract:
Experiments with wireless sensor networks have shown that asymmetric and unidirectional links do not only exist, but are indeed quite common. Still, many people argue that the gain in connectivity is not worth the effort of making them usable for routing protocols. In this paper, we follow the opposite approach and introduce Unidirectional Link Triangle Routing, which reduces the overhead and, therefore, makes unidirectional links usable on the routing layer.
