Forwarding zone is one of the key features in the receiver-based routing protocols in which a forwarding angle associated with a forwarding zone has a significant impact on the routing performance. However, the existing studies in this area have not focused much on the impact of a forwarding angle to the performance of the receiver-based routing protocols. This article presents a receiver-based routing protocol called Content-Based Beaconless Forwarding (CBBF) that utilizes the content in the header of a data packet while performing the routing operation. Specifically, CBBF uses location information to set a forwarding zone and the waiting time criterion. At the same time, other fields of the data packet's header are utilized to facilitate various mechanisms involved in the operation of CBBF. The impact of varying forwarding angles on the performance of CBBF is then studied and analyzed via simulations using QualNet. The simulations are carried out by varying the source transmission rate, node density and node velocity. The performance is evaluated in terms of packet delivery ratio (PDR), average end-to-end (ETE) delay and packet redundancy coefficient (PRC). From the simulation results, the CBBF with a forwarding angle of 60° offers the best trade-off between reliability, latency and unicast efficiency. © 2013 IEEE. date: 2020 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85098558922&doi=10.1109%2fACCESS.2020.3044967&partnerID=40&md5=b2df1785dfde334b8e4be09a5c5a4d90 id_number: 10.1109/ACCESS.2020.3044967 full_text_status: none publication: IEEE Access volume: 8 pagerange: 225522-225538 refereed: TRUE issn: 21693536 citation: Husain, K. and Awang, A.
