1. A method for routing data packets in a wireless network at a node i, comprising:

  • selecting a neighbor p as the next hop in a route from node i to destination j if (i) the path from neighbor p to destination j does not include node i and does not repeat any node, and (ii) Diyp<

    Diyx for any other neighbor x and for all nodes y that are in the path from destination j to neighbor p, where Diyp is the distance value of the route from node i to node y through neighbor p and Diyx is the distance value of the route from node i to node y through neighbor x.
