ABSTRACT

Routing in opportunistic networks is a very important and challenging problem because opportunistic network utilizes the contact opportunities of mobile nodes to achieve data communication.Social-based routing uses behavior of human beings which can form a community with the same interests to deliver the message.In this paper,we analyze the drawbacks of the original friendship-based algorithm, which defined social pressure metric to determine nodes'friendship community, but the metric couldn't distinguish the distribution characterization of the connection length which has an important impact on the selection of links with better quality. Further, the existing friendship-based routing doesn't consider the buffer management, which is vital for routing design in opportunistic networks. We propose a New Friendship-based routing with buffer management based on Copy Utility, named NFCU. NFCU algorithm, which not only considers the contact periods in constructing social pressure metric to solve the drawbacks of the original friendship-based routing scheme efficiently, but also considers the buffer management, that can efficiently determine which copy of the message should be deleted timely according to the copy utility function. Our proposed strategy can reduce the network overhead significantly, and increase the message delivery ratio. The extensive simulation results demonstrate that NFCU performs better than the original friendship-based routing. Moreover, we compare NFCU with other four classicalrouting schemes in opportunistic networks in terms of message delivery ratio, average delay, and comprehensive metric- message delivery ratio*(1/average delay). The simulation results show that our scheme NFCU can achieve better performance.

研究动机与目标

  • 解决现有基于友谊的路由协议在区分连接时长分布方面的局限性,该局限性影响了链路质量的选择。
  • 解决机会网络中缓冲区管理的关键问题,其中低效的副本处理会增加网络开销。

  • 提出一种改进的社交压力度量方法,将接触时长纳入考量,以更准确反映节点友谊的稳定性和质量。
  • 引入复制效用函数,基于消息副本的转发潜力和接触历史评估其价值。
  • 实施一种缓冲区管理策略,在缓冲区空间受限时删除低效用的消息副本。
  • 将增强的社交压力度量与复制效用函数整合到统一的路由框架中,实现动态决策。
  • 利用历史接触数据预测未来的接触机会,并据此优先转发消息。
  • 设计仿真环境,在真实移动模式下评估NFCU与五种路由方案的性能表现。
