A new routing algorithm based on opportunistic network
Ding Zhou, Shi Dong · International Journal of Information and Communication Technology · 2017
Opportunistic network completes the communication between nodes by 'storage-carry-forward' mode, the traditional routing algorithms can not be applied to the opportunistic network, so this article proposes network routing algorithm MPRA based on an efficient opportunistic network. The algorithm is based on the mobility prediction method to solve routing problems. We use existing mobility prediction method and apply it into the routing algorithm. Compared to existing routing method of opportunity network, MPRA method can handle dynamic route problem, improve the transmission success rate and decrease the transmission delay. Moreover, the algorithm can reduce the routing overhead and short the cache time.
