Beaconless geocast protocols are interesting, even in 1D

Beaconless geocast protocols are routing protocols used to send messages in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks, in which the only information available to each node is its own location. Packets get routed in a distributed manner: each node uses local decision rules based on the packet source and destination, and its own location. In this paper we analyze some of the most relevant existing protocols in a formal and structured way, focusing on two relevant 1D scenarios.
