Abstract :
UWB technology enables accurate positioning. The integration of communication and location-tracking capabilities will strongly enhance performance and enlarge the application field of UWB systems. Location-based routing protocols may be more efficient and robust than other routing strategies. In this paper we propose an enhanced "energy-aware" version of a well-established location-based reactive multi-hop protocol, namely the greedy perimeter stateless routing (GPSR) algorithm. The performance of this novel routing scheme is investigated by means of extensive dynamic system simulations. The design parameters of the e-GPSR are optimized for industrial and logistics scenarios.
