Abstract :
In this paper, we describe a novel forwarding technique based on geographical location of the nodes involved and random selection of the relaying node via contention among receivers. A collision avoidance scheme based on this idea is described in detail, and an approximate analysis is provided. The proposed scheme is compared with STEM, and is shown to perform significantly better for sufficient node density.
