ETSI ETSI EN 302 636-1 V1.2.1 (2014-04) 5 Introduction Wireless communication is a cornerstone of future Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Many ITS applications require the dissemination of information with a rapid and direct communication, which can be achieved by ad hoc networking. GeoNetworking is a network-layer protocol for mobile ad hoc communication based on wireless technology, such as ITS-G5. It provides communication in mobile environments without the need for a coordinating infrastructure. GeoNetworking utilizes geographical positions for dissemination of information and transport of data packets. It offers communication over multiple wireless hops, where nodes in the network forward data packets on behalf of each other to extend the communication range. Originally proposed for general mobile ad hoc networks, variants of GeoNetworking have been proposed for other network types, such as vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), mesh networks and wireless sensor networks. Therefore, GeoNetworking can also be regarded as a family of network protocols based on the usage of geographical positions for addressing and transport of data packets in different types of networks. In VANETs, GeoNetworking provides wireless communication among vehicles and among vehicles and fixed stations along the roads. GeoNetworking works connectionless and fully distributed based on ad hoc network concepts, with intermittent or even without infrastructure access. The principles of GeoNetworking meet the specific requirements of vehicular environments: It is well suited for highly mobile network nodes and frequent changes in the network topology. Moreover, GeoNetworking flexibly supports heterogeneous application requirements, including applications for road safety, traffic efficiency and infotainment. More specifically, it enables periodic transmission of safety status messages at high rate, rapid multi-hop dissemination of packets in geographical regions for emergency warnings, and unicast packet transport for Internet applications. GeoNetworking basically provides two, strongly coupled functions: geographical addressing and geographical forwarding. Unlike addressing in conventional networks, in which a node has a communication name linked to its identity (e.g. a node's IP address), GeoNetworking can send data packets to a node by its position or to multiple nodes in a geographical region. For forwarding, GeoNetworking assumes that every node has a partial view of the network topology in its vicinity and that every packet carries a geographical address, such as the geographical position or geographical area as the destination. When a node receives a data packet, it compares the geo-address in the data packet and the node's view on the network topology, and makes an autonomous forwarding decision. As a results, packets are forwarded "on the fly", without need for setup and maintenance of routing tables in the nodes. The most innovative method for distribution of information enabled by geographical routing is to target messages to certain geographical areas. In practise, a vehicle can select and specify a well-delimited geographic area to which messages should be delivered. Intermediate vehicles serve as message relays and only the vehicles located within the target area process the message and further send it to corresponding applications. In this way, only vehicles that are actually affected by a dangerous situation or a traffic notification are notified, whereas vehicles unaffected by the event are not targeted. Basically, geographical routing comprises the following forwarding schemes: • GeoUnicast: figure 1 shows a possible method of packet delivery between two nodes via multiple wireless hops. When a node wishes to send a unicast packet, it first determines the destination's position and then forwards the data packet to a node towards the destination, which in turn re-forwards the packet along the path until the packet reaches the destination.

ETSI ETSI EN 302 636-1 V1.2.1 (2014-04) 6 • GeoBroadcast: figure 2 shows a possible method of geographical broadcast. A packet is forwarded hop-by-hop until it reaches the destination area determined by the packet, and nodes rebroadcast the packet if they are located inside the destination area. GeoAnycast is different from geographical broadcast in that a node within the destination area will not re-broadcast any received packets.
Figure 2: GeoBroadcast • Topologically-scoped broadcast: figure 3 shows rebroadcasting of a data packet from a source to all nodes in the n-hop neighbourhood. Single-hop broadcast is a specific case of topologically-scoped broadcast, which is used to send packets only to one-hop neighbourhood.

Introduction
Wireless communication is a cornerstone of future Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Many ITS applications require
the dissemination of information with a rapid and direct communication, which can be achieved by ad hoc networking.
GeoNetworking is a network-layer protocol for mobile ad hoc communication based on wireless technology, such as
ITS-G5. It provides communication in mobile environments without the need for a coordinating infrastructure.
GeoNetworking utilizes geographical positions for dissemination of information and transport of data packets. It offers
communication over multiple wireless hops, where nodes in the network forward data packets on behalf of each other to
extend the communication range. Originally proposed for general mobile ad hoc networks, variants of GeoNetworking
have been proposed for other network types, such as vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), mesh networks and wireless
sensor networks. Therefore, GeoNetworking can also be regarded as a family of network protocols based on the usage
of geographical positions for addressing and transport of data packets in different types of networks.
In VANETs, GeoNetworking provides wireless communication among vehicles and among vehicles and fixed stations
along the roads. GeoNetworking works connectionless and fully distributed based on ad hoc network concepts, with
intermittent or even without infrastructure access. The principles of GeoNetworking meet the specific requirements of
vehicular environments: It is well suited for highly mobile network nodes and frequent changes in the network
topology. Moreover, GeoNetworking flexibly supports heterogeneous application requirements, including applications
for road safety, traffic efficiency and infotainment. More specifically, it enables periodic transmission of safety status
messages at high rate, rapid multi-hop dissemination of packets in geographical regions for emergency warnings, and
unicast packet transport for Internet applications.
GeoNetworking basically provides two, strongly coupled functions: geographical addressing and geographical
forwarding. Unlike addressing in conventional networks, in which a node has a communication name linked to its
identity (e.g. a node's IP address), GeoNetworking can send data packets to a node by its position or to multiple nodes
in a geographical region. For forwarding, GeoNetworking assumes that every node has a partial view of the network
topology in its vicinity and that every packet carries a geographical address, such as the geographical position or
geographical area as the destination. When a node receives a data packet, it compares the geo-address in the data packet
and the node's view on the network topology, and makes an autonomous forwarding decision. As a results, packets are
forwarded "on the fly", without need for setup and maintenance of routing tables in the nodes.
The most innovative method for distribution of information enabled by geographical routing is to target messages to
certain geographical areas. In practise, a vehicle can select and specify a well-delimited geographic area to which
messages should be delivered. Intermediate vehicles serve as message relays and only the vehicles located within the
target area process the message and further send it to corresponding applications. In this way, only vehicles that are
actually affected by a dangerous situation or a traffic notification are notified, whereas vehicles unaffected by the event
are not targeted.
Basically, geographical routing comprises the following forwarding schemes:
• GeoUnicast: figure 1 shows a possible method of packet delivery between two nodes via multiple wireless
hops. When a node wishes to send a unicast packet, it first determines the destination's position and then
forwards the data packet to a node towards the destination, which in turn re-forwards the packet along the path
until the packet reaches the destination.

• GeoBroadcast: figure 2 shows a possible method of geographical broadcast. A packet is forwarded
hop-by-hop until it reaches the destination area determined by the packet, and nodes rebroadcast the packet if
they are located inside the destination area. GeoAnycast is different from geographical broadcast in that a node
within the destination area will not re-broadcast any received packets.


Figure 2: GeoBroadcast
• Topologically-scoped broadcast: figure 3 shows rebroadcasting of a data packet from a source to all nodes in
the n-hop neighbourhood. Single-hop broadcast is a specific case of topologically-scoped broadcast, which is
used to send packets only to one-hop neighbourhood.
