{wiki=Geographic_routing}
Geographic routing, also known as geographic information-based routing or location-based routing, is a networking strategy used primarily in wireless sensor networks, ad hoc networks, and mobile networks. It leverages the geographical locations of nodes in the network to make forwarding decisions for data packets. The fundamental idea behind geographic routing is to simplify the process of finding an optimal path for data transmission by using the known physical positions of the nodes.
