An Overview of Intelligent Algorithm-Based Routing in Delay Tolerant Networks
Lei Yao, Xiangyu Bai, Zhaoran Wang · 2023
Delay tolerant network (DTN) is a new paradigm with the development of wireless technology and mobile Ad-hoc network (MANET). Unlike the stable end-to-end connection in the traditional network, the storage - carry - forward mode is adopted in DTN. Routing optimization is the most basic problem in delay tolerant network. It assumes the heavy responsibility of data transmission, and even determines the performance of the whole network. In recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence, there have been many researches on the use of AI to optimize the routing in DTN. However, the relevant literature is insufficient at present. In this paper, we first introduce the methods related to artificial intelligence, and then summarize and discuss the existing literature from five parts: machine learning classifier, prediction task using machine learning, biological heuristic method, reinforcement learning and artificial intelligence assistance.
