Traditional routing schemes only considered fully connected links as a path of nodes
in a WSN, and then send data through that sequence of nodes. Compared with the
fully connected links, lossy links only provide probabilistic connectivity. However,
there exist more lossy links in a WSN. Therefore, opportunistic routing schemes
(e.g., ExOR [82] and More [83]) proposed to treat lossy links as advantages. The
opportunistic routing scheme called ExOR [82] proposed a new unicast routing tech-
nique for multi-hop wireless networks. ExOR forwards each packet through a se-
quence ...
