Routing Protocol for Delay Tolerant Network using WSN Nodes

  Varsha Mohite,  I.I Mujawar

Most of the existing routing protocol is based on the assumption that a path exists between the sender and the receiver. On the other hand, applications of delay tolerant network are often characterized by network partitions. As a consequence routing in delay tolerant networking research has received considerable attention in the recent years. In this paper we present Filtered - Flooding Routing Protocol for delay tolerant network in intermittently connected networks. We have tried to maximize the message delivery rate without compromising on the amount of message discarded. The protocol is based on the idea of exploiting nodes as carriers of messages among network partitions to achieve delivery. Filter based prediction techniques and utility theory is used to decide which contact event must be sent or dropped by the nodes. The performance of the routing protocol is evaluated using network simulator ns2 and the results are graphically presented.
