Abstract

Geocast protocols can be used to send messages to all receivers in a geographic target area. In this paper we present geocast routing algorithms for Wireless Mesh Networks that are tailored to symbolic addressing using symbolic location names like floor or room numbers. Since in particular indoors no geometric information is available, our algorithms use symbolic location models to derive directional information for routing. Moreover, we show how to integrate geometric and symbolic geographic routing algorithms into a hybrid routing approach which is applicable to larger areas consisting of symbolically and geometrically defined locations.
