Stojmenovic co-authored a seminal article [BMSU], describing still the only known breakthrough framework for routing with guaranteed delivery, a novel routing protocol for wireless networks that makes greedy forwarding decisions using only position of immediate neighbors and destination in the network topology. When a packet reaches a region where greedy forwarding is impossible, the algorithm recovers by routing around the face of the region. The recovery is based on the construction of planar connected subgraph without any communication overhead, and on a routing algorithm that is always successful in planar connected graphs. That article has >1400 citations (while an article from 2000, by Harward Univ. authors, merely describing the implementation details and simulation results, has been cited over 4000 times). [FS] is a follow up article, proving formally the correctness of algorithm from 1999, and showing that in geometric planar graph recovery from greedy routing failure is always possible while traversing the first face. It greatly simplified the original algorithm, made it finally easy to understand and use, and showed an error in mentioned article that rediscovered the original idea. This line of research is still very active in the community (e.g. Stojmenovic described beaconless variant, with zero local knowledge, recently in the top journal in the area [RKNS]).

Stojmenovic was the first one to propose broadcasting protocols that guarantee delivery to all nodes connected to the source, without blindly requiring each node to retransmit, in his fundamental work [SSZ] that was recognized by ISI as the Fast Breaking Paper (Oct 2003). He applied the connected dominating set (CDS) backbone concept by first making it practical by eliminating existing message overhead and proving the correctness. In his broadcasting protocols, only nodes from CDS retransmit. It was further enhanced by neighbor elimination scheme (nodes, whose all neighbors received message already, do not retransmit).
