Abstract

In recent years, sensors have been deployed for measurement for weather, environment, or traffic. The obtained data is used for analysis or research. When such sensors are deployed in huge numbers, cost of real-time monitoring is very high. Method for data collection at low cost is therefore required. Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN), a networking method for communication without base stations, enables data collection at low cost. A model for sensor data recovery has been proposed for DTN, and it is considered to be effective for recovery of sensor data which can be delayed to some extent. However, DTN has a problem of consuming network resources by message replication. This is a problem in which message replication puts pressure on limited network resources such as buffer capacity and communication bandwidth, resulting in a decrease in the message arrival rate to the destination. In this paper, we propose a method for determining the destination of DTN data considering the expected path of the node. In the proposed method, duplicate transfer is carried out to the node which arrives near the destination. In the evaluation, we compare the number of arrived data with the number of generated data of the proposed method and that of the existing method. As a result of comparison, we confirmed the improvement of the arrival rate by the proposed method.
