Abstract
In Opportunistic Networks (Oppnets), the link performance is highly unpredictable and the connections are broken frequently. The TCP protocol will perform badly in Oppnet because the end-to-end connection always needs to be reconstructed and the data need to be retransmitted from the original sender again. In order to solve the problem, we investigate the principles of at-one-time and on-time delivery, in which “at-one-time” means to transmit each piece of data just once and “on-time” means to transmit data to the receiver by a pre-scheduled time point. Based on the principles, we designed a Flexible Delivery Platform with at-One-time and On-time guarantees (FDPOO) in Oppnets. In FDPOO, we separate the transmitting processes into macro and micro stages. In the macro stage, it deals with the end-to-end transmission QoS; in the micro stage, it deals with the transmission between adjacent nodes along the constructed delivering path. We implement the proposed FDPOO based on the Delay Tolerant Network (DTN). The performance results show that the designed FDPOO can efficiently complete the data transmission at one time and on time.
