Opportunistic routing protocols have been proposed as
efficient methods to exploit the high node densities in sensor
networks to mitigate the effect of varying channel conditions
and non-availability of nodes that power down periodically.
They work by integrating the network and data
link layers so that they can take a joint decision as to the
next hop forwarding node based on its availability and suitability
as a forwarder. This cross-layer integration makes
it harder to optimize the protocol due to the dependencies
among the different components of the protocol stack. In
this paper, we provide a framework to model opportunistic
routing that breaks up the functionality into three separate
components and simplifies analysis. The framework is used
to model two variants of opportunistic routing and is shown
to match well with simulation results. In addition, using the
model for performance analysis yields important guidelines
for the future design of such protocols.
