General Direction Routing Protocol, Sean Michael Lydon
General Direction Routing Protocol, Sean Michael Lydon
Master's Theses
The General Direction Routing Protocol (GDRP) is a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)
multi-path routing protocol which abstracts localization information (commonly GPS
coordinates) into relative direction information in order to perform routing decisions. By
generating relative direction information GDRP is able to operate with fewer precision
requirements than other protocols. This abstraction also allows the integration of other emerging
hardware-based localization techniques, for example, Beamforming Sensor Arrays.
GDRP does not specifically address the next hop a packet should take, but instead specifies a
direction it should travel. This direction abstraction allows for multiple paths to be taken through
the network thus …

This thesis presents both a review of current MANET routing protocols and a new MANET routing algorithm. The routing protocols reviewed include representative samples from the three primary forms of routing found in MANETS: proactive routing, reactive routing and hybrid routing. Secure algorithms are given special treatment in the review. In addition several protocol enhancements are discussed.
The proposed routing protocol is designed to support networks of a medium size, containing over 200 nodes but less than 3,000 nodes. The design is intentionally simple to allow ease of implementation in comparison with other MANET protocols that provide similar functionality.
