Friend Cluster Based Delay Tolerant Routing Protocol in Social Networks
Liu Feng-yu · 2012
Social network is a kind of wireless network which consists of portable communication devices.Generally,it has large scale,complex structure and rapidly changed topology.It is a classic application scenario of delay tolerant networks.A network topology model was presented based on node's friend cluster on social networks.An efficient cluster based delay tolerant routing protocol was proposed for this topology model.The experiment proves that based on the cluster model,the proposed routing protocol can not only guarantee routing performance but also avoid consumption of network resources caused by uncontrolled epidemic packet copies.
