SIBR: A Routing Protocol for Delay Tolerant Networks
Yuan Chen, Neng Wang · Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Computer Science and Electronics Engineering (ICCSEE 2013) · 2013
Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) may lack continuous network connectivity.Routing in DTNs is thus challenging since it must handle network partitioning, long delays, and dynamic topology in such networks.Most routing protocols for delay tolerant networks resort to the sufficient state information, including trajectory and contact information, to ensure routing efficiency.In this paper, we propose an interconnection social metric of each node in the network to perform the routing process.We propose a new protocol based on social community and social interconnection of the nodes to maximize data delivery.Results show that the proposed protocol achieves higher delivery ratio and less average delay compared to PROPHET and SimBet routing protocols.
