n the performance evaluation of a protocol for an ad hoc network, the protocol should be tested under realistic conditions including, but not limited to, a sensible transmission range, limited buffer space for the storage of messages, representative
The problem of choosing the best forwarders in Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs) is crucial for minimizing the delay in packet delivery and for keeping the amount of generated traffic under control. In this paper, we introduce sociable routing, a novel
The basic operation of Delay Tolerant Mobile Sensor Network (DTMSN) is for pervasive data gathering in networks with intermittent connectivity, where traditional data gathering methods can not be applied. In this paper, an efficient Mobility Predict
Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are a special type of wireless mobile networks which may lack continuous network connectivity. Multicast is an important routing function that supports the distribution of data to a group of users, a service needed for
The standardization of the IP protocol and its mapping into network-specific link-layer data frames at each router as required supports interoperability using a packet-switched model of service. Although often not explicitly stated, a number of key
Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are resource-constrained networks where messages are relayed in a store-carry-forward fashion. In most routing protocols of DTNs, each node is required to honestly relay messages. However, some nodes may violate this pr
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have wide applications in many fields sharing common grounds as their major technical challenges. This paper focuses on a high-level information association issue and designs an efficient routing protocol accordingly f
Deep space networks, satellite networks, ad hoc networks, and the Internet can be modeled as DTNs (Delay Tolerant Networks). As a fundamental problem, the maximum flow problem is of vital importance for routing and service scheduling in networks. How
