5. The Planar Spatial Neighborhood Face The subdivision of maximal connected subset of the plane Spatial Neighborhood A node in a planar graph to be the set of nodes in all faces adjacent to that node except the node itself

6. The Planar Spatial Neighborhood Face and Spatial Neighborhood Example(Face) A ： 6 faces G ： 3 faces Example(Spatial Neighborhood) A ： 6 spatial neighbors G ： 11 spatial neighbors

7. Face-Aware Routing The essence of the algorithm Every node that has at least one spatial neighbor that is a delivery-zone node will forward(locally broadcast) the mobicast message Face-aware algorithm Greedy forwarding Timed forwarding

8. Greedy Forwarding All nodes that are currently(previously) covered by the delivery zone,or have at least one spatial neighbor that is currently(or previously) covered by the delivery zone In such cases,a node forwards a new packet in an “ as soon as possible ” fashion

9. Greedy Forwarding(cont.) A,J,C,B,D,K apply the greedy forwarding Because P,G,L,M,N,E,F have no spatial neighbors in the delivery zone,they use timed forwarding G L M E F I H P C B A J D N K P G L M E N F AA J C B D K

10. Timed Forwarding The timed forwarding category A node that has no spatial neighbor in the current delivery zone but either itself will soon be in the delivery zone or has at least one spatial neighbor that will be in the delivery zone If a node X receives a new mobicast packet at time t and finds itself in the timed forwarding category, it makes a forwarding decision based on the relative times the delivery zone reaches its delivery zone neighbors and the expected latency

11. Timed Forwarding(cont.) X ： the node will be in the delivery zone  t i ： the delivery zone to reach node i(one of spatial neighbors of X) h i ： the hop distance from X to I T 1 ： the expected 1-hop network latency

12. Timed Forwarding(cont.) B,L,M will be in the delivery zone(packet information) H,G,L,M,E,F,I will apply the timed forwarding and make the forwarding decision G L M E F I H P C B A J D N K P G L M E N F AA J C B D K Node L The first time receiving mobicast message The second time receiving mobicast message tLtL A B L M K J P N G H E F I Ta=  t L -h L T1 H G L M F I E

13. Protocol Termination A mobicast termination method based on the packet lifetime value in the packet header A expired packet is dropped only in the timed forwarding mode The expired packet will still be forwarded in the greedy forwarding Tolerate some level of timing uncertainty

17. Topology Discovery The protocol creates a discovery message flow in each face As a discovery message traverses a face,the coordinates of the nodes it has traversed are added to the message After a discovery message finishing traversing a face,all nodes’ location on the face are collected And a message traverses the same face another time to inform everyone on the face
