Design guidelines for routing protocols in ad hoc and sensor networks with a realistic physical layer.

We present guidelines on how to design network layer protocols when the unit disk graph (UDG) model is replaced by a more realistic physical layer model. Instead of merely using the transmission radius in the UDG model, physical, MAC, and network layers share the information about a bit and/or packe...
