Abstract

Message ferry is a way of communication in Intermittently Connected Delay-Tolerant Wireless Sensor Networks. It is for collecting data from stationary sensor nodes. The efficiency of message delivery using message ferries depends on the routing scheme. Nomadic Lévy Walk that is a variant of Lévy Walk is an eligible candidate for a message ferry routing scheme. It includes homing behavior in addition to the behavior similar to Lévy walk with strategic moving the home position. In this paper, we conducted several simulation runs on a WSN to measure the message delivery ratio of message ferries with several routing schemes. We also evaluate that Nomadic Lévy Walk is suitable for message ferry routing. Our simulation result shows Nomadic Lévy Walk is practically useful as a message ferry routing for collecting data in WSNs.
