ExOR (wireless network protocol)

<p>Extremely Opportunistic Routing (ExOR) is a combination of <a href="/facts/Routing_protocol/LH5U2Qh5">routing protocol</a> and <a href="/facts/Media_access_control/hFpNzFFD">media access control</a> for a <a href="/facts/Wireless_ad_hoc_network/Gwb3FlAD">wireless ad hoc network</a>, invented by <a href="/facts/Sanjit_Biswas/sm5UBuwH">Sanjit Biswas</a> and <a href="/facts/Robert_Tappan_Morris/CunYhUA3">Robert Morris</a> of the <a href="/facts/MIT_Artificial_Intelligence_Laboratory/mTg66jb9">MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory</a>, and described in a 2005 paper.
 A very similar opportunistic routing scheme was also independently proposed by Zhenzhen Ye and Yingbo Hua from <a href="/facts/University_of_California%2c_Riverside/QVdCJj5c">University of California, Riverside</a> and presented in a paper in 2005.
Previously open source, ExOR was available in 2005 but is no longer obtainable.
The broadcast and retransmission strategies used by the algorithm were already described in the literature. ExOR is valuable because it can operate available digital radios to use some previously impractical algorithmic optimizations.
