Abstract
The Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) was designed first as a means to communicate between interplanetary bodies in space. Gradually the concept gave way to a terrestrial DTN that was to cement the communication gaps in networks that were heterogeneous and resource challenged in nature. Due to unavailability of end-to-end routing paths, energy exhausted nodes and unreliable communication resources, traditional routing strategies failed to connect, resulting in a plethora of research work for DTN protocols. The Postbox DTN is a variant of the classical DTN wherein there are always ON persistent nodes called Postboxes in a cluster via which all other nodes communicate. The Energy Conserving Postbox (ECOP) DTN uses a trio of time-multiplexed ECOPs in a bid to reduce energy consumption and overhead for the Postboxes. This paper proposes an approach for intra cluster communication using ECOPs that aims to further lower the energy consumption and the chances of single-point-of-failure in the network. We also devise the very first energy efficient inter cluster communication algorithm for Postbox DTN. For the said purpose we utilize the technology of Dial-On-Demand routing wherein a communication channel is only activated when a request to do so arrives. Apart from energy this also saves network bandwidth. This postulate is also seconded by simulation results.
