Congestion Aware Routing Strategies for DTN-Based Interplanetary Networks
Igor Bisio, Mario Marchese, Tomaso de Cola · 2008
The networking and communication challenges posed by interplanetary environments make the design and the deployment of complex telecommunication infrastructures particularly difficult, especially with regard to routing and congestion control issues. To this end, the paper proposes a congestion-aware routing paradigm that applies multi attribute decision making (MADM) concepts for next-hop selection, by formulating an optimisation problem and proposing some possible resolution criteria. Effectiveness of the proposed solutions is assessed through a preliminary performance analysis that shows promising results.
