Evaluation of Message Success Rate with Effective Opportunistic Routing Scheme for WSN

Opportunistic routing has become an important research topic for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Non-conventional techniques are necessary in WSNs to cope with the challenging communication requirements posed by their limited resources. Opportunistic routing is a reliable communication protocol that sends data without relying on the state information of the nodes and without making any assumptions about the topology of the network. It exploits the multi-hop broadcast capability of WSNs to increase the probability of successfully delivering the data. The main idea of opportunistic routing is to exploit advancements in mobility to enhance the performance of the network. The sender broadcasts a broadcast message to nearby nodes, which then forwards the message to more distant nodes based on their mobility. Nodes with high mobility serve as forwarders that traverse the network and increase the chance that the message will reach its destination. By exploiting these forwarders, opportunistic routing is able to enhance the delivery ratio while decreasing the transmission latency compared to conventional routing schemes.
