24. Though x is a direct neighbor of v, message is sent from v to w and then to x, introducing an extra transmission. In dense networks, this may be significant compared with the total number of transmissions for face traversal. Solution: We propose a SKIP method to allow skipping of such nodes.

42. Vitrual Surrounding Face Geocasting Basic Idea of VSF: Virtual Surrounding Face For any two faces that share an edge, if the shared edge is ignored, the two faces can be merged into one face with a larger area.
47. VSF Forwarding: A source node transmits a geocasting message containing the specification of the region to a node on the boundary of the VSF by LBR or GFG. Vitrual Surrounding Face Geocasting

50. VSF Traversal: Node which received the message starts double directional face traversal. Thus messages will never collide . Traversal is also aided by SKIP algorithm to reduce the number of transmissions. Vitrual Surrounding Face Geocasting

53. VSF Restricted Flooding: Every node on the boundary of VSF performs DS based Restricted flooding . Vitrual Surrounding Face Geocasting
