FinalComm: Leveraging Dynamic Communities to Improve Forwarding in DTNs

Published: 21 November 2017 Publication History

Abstract

This article proposes a social-based routing protocol for Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs) known as FinalComm. FinalComm allows nodes to build a view of the existing communities in the network. With this information, nodes are able to relay messages after computing if the neighbor will most probably meet the destination or any other node from the community of the destination of the message. Simulation results shows that FinalComm is able to achieve a high delivery rate and an extremely low overhead ratio, if compared with four other routing protocols. Specifically, FinalComm presents average gains of 31.4% in terms of delivery rate in comparison with other routing protocols for the scenarios considered.
