Abstract

This paper presents FAR, a Face-Aware Routing protocol for mobicast, a spatiotemporal variant of multicast tailored for sensor networks with environmental mobility. FAR features face-routing and timed-forwarding for delivering a message to a mobile delivery zone. Both analytical and statistical results show that, FAR achieves reliable and just-in-time mes-sage delivery with only moderate communication and memory overhead. This paper also presents a novel distributed algorithm for spatial neighborhood discovery for FAR boot-strapping. The spatiotemporal performance and reliability of FAR are demonstrated via ns-2 simulations.
