NetTopo simulator can be used to test various kinds of sensor network algorithms. In this section, we focus on analyzing and discussing TPGF and GPSR algorithms running on NetTopo.
TPGF: Two Phase geographical Greedy Forwarding. It is a pure geographical greedy forwarding routing algorithm, which does not include the face routing concept, e.g. right/left hand rules and count/clockwise angles. For more information, please click here.
TPGF routing algorithm 100% guarantees the success of finding deliverable routing path. Current features reflected in NetTopo are as follows:
