Device-to-device commercial content dissemination in social wireless networks

Majority of existing Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) multicast routing approaches attempt to individually optimize performance indices such as message delay, forwarding cost, and required storage. Very few define composite cost factors by combining multiple such indices into a single index. This paper introduces a composite index, namely economic gain, which combines revenue from delivery and forwarding cost from disseminating commercial content such as coupons. In this context, an Economy Driven Content Dissemination (EDCD) protocol is proposed that controls D2D content dissemination with an end goal of maximizing the economic gain for a coupon-generator. Using the DTN simulation software ONE, we run experiments for functional validation and performance evaluation of the proposed protocol with respect to few other competitive protocols under different mobility scenarios.
