description In the realm of industrial wireless mesh networks, an efficient routing protocol is highly demanded to play a crucial role in ensuring that packets are efficiently directed along shorter and congestion-free routes toward gateways. Field-based routing has emerged as a promising solution to tackle these network challenges. This routing approach draws inspiration from physics and employs a differential equation to model its behavior in finding efficient routes. Given the fundamental significance of boundary conditions in physics, where they play an essential role in shaping the solutions to the equation, exploring the impact of boundary conditions on field-based routing behavior within network domains becomes highly significant. However, despite their influence, the impact of boundary conditions has remained unexplored in existing studies on field-based routing. In this context, our work explores the boundary condition problem and introduces new advanced fine-grained boundary conditions for field-based routing. We demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed scheme, highlighting the substantial role of boundary conditions in network behavior. Our work holds significant value in that it explores the boundary condition problem, an aspect largely overlooked in previous research, and provides a viable solution, underscoring its crucial importance in routing enhancement.
