Encounter based Routing in Opportunistic Networks
R. K. Chauhan Nidhi · IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering · 2016
Opportunistic networks are wireless networks which may be used in areas where large delays are presented between data transmission also long distances may be handled by nodes.In these networks nodes may communicate with others through intermediate nodes.Data transmission takes place via various routing protocols.An opportunistic network provides standard routing protocols that are epidemic routing, prophet routing, spray and wait routing etc.In this paper these protocols are discussed with their own pros and cons.After that a comparative analysis between them is also presented.
