Sensor networks and car networks that have different structure from that of conventional TCP/IP network require extreme network environment due to frequent change of connectivity. Because such extreme network environment has characteristics like unreliable link connectivity, long delay time, asymmetrical data transfer rate, and high error rate, etc., it is difficult to perform normally with the conventional TCP/P-based routing. DTNs (delay and disruption tolerant network) was designed to support data transfer in extreme network environment with long delay time and no guarantee for continuous connectivity between terminals. This study suggests an algorithm that limits the maximum number of copying transferred message to L by improving the spray and wait routing protocol, which is one of the conventional DTNs routing protocols, and using the azimuth and density data of the mobile nods. The suggested algorithm was examined by using ONE, a DTNs simulator. As a result, it could reduce the delay time and overhead of unnecessary packets compared to the conventional spray and wait routing protocol.

For applications involving the monitoring of large areas, dense sensor networks are not practical. For such applications, delay tolerant networks which consist of disconnected clusters of sensors that are visited periodically by a mobile robot are implemented. Because clock synchronization is critical to any data collection endeavor, and because the structure of DTNs is unique, this paper examines various clock synchronization algorithms as they apply to DTNs. A simulation tool was developed to examine and evaluate the RBS clock synchronization algorithm for DTNs.

DTNs (Delay Tolerant Networks) refer to the networks that can support data transmission in the extreme networking situations such as continuous delay and no connectivity between ends. DTMNs (Delay Tolerant Networks) are a specific range of DTNs, and its chief considerations in the process of message delivery in the routing protocol are the transmission delay, improvement of reliability, and reduction of network loading. This article proposes a new LCN (Largest Common Neighbor) routing algorism to improve Spray and Wait routing protocol that prevents the generation of unnecessary packets in a network by letting mobile nodes limit the number of copies of their messages to all nodes to L. Since higher L is distributed to nodes with directivity to the destination node and the maximum number of common neighbor nodes among the mobile nodes based on the directivity information of each node and the maximum number of common neighbor nodes, more efficient node transmission can be realized. In order to verify this proposed algorism, DTN simulator was designed by using ONE simulator. According to the result of this simulation, the suggested algorism can reduce average delay and unnecessary message generation.

This paper considers mobility control to improve packet delivery in delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) under group mobility. Based on the group structure in group mobility, we propose two mobility control techniques; group formation enforcement and group purposeful movement. Both techniques can be used to increase the contact opportunities between groups by extending the group's reachability. In addition, they can be easily integrated into some existing DTN routing schemes under group mobility to effectively expedite the packet delivery. This paper is divided into 2 parts. First, we study how our proposed mobility control schemes reduce the packet delivery delay in DTNs by integrating them into one simple routing scheme called group-epidemic routing (G-ER). For each scheme, we analytically derive the cumulative density function of the packet delivery delay to show how it can effectively reduce the packet delivery delay. Then, based on our second proposed technique, the group purposeful movement, we design a new DTN routing scheme, called purposeful movement assisted routing (PMAR), to further reduce the packet delay. Extensive simulations in NS2 have been conducted to show the significant improvement of PMAR over G-ER under different practical network conditions.

In delay tolerant networks (DTNs), delay is inevitable; thus, making better use of buffer space to maximize the packet delivery rate is more important than delay reduction. In DTNs, epidemic routing is a well-known routing protocol. However, epidemic routing is very sensitive to buffer size. Once the buffer size in nodes is insufficient, the performance of epidemic routing will be drastically reduced. In this paper, we propose a buffer scheme to optimize the performance of epidemic routing on the basis of the Lagrangian and dual problem models. By using the proposed optimal buffer scheme, the packet delivery rate in epidemic routing is considerably improved. Our simulation results show that epidemic routing with the proposed optimal buffer scheme outperforms the original epidemic routing in terms of packet delivery rate and average end-to-end delay. It is worth noting that the improved epidemic routing needs much less buffer size compared to that of the original epidemic routing for ensuring the same packet delivery rate. In particular, even though the buffer size is very small (e.g., 50), the packet delivery rate in epidemic routing with the proposed optimal buffer scheme is still 95.8%, which can satisfy general communication demand.

Due to the uncertain of connections in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), most routing algorithms in DTNs need nodes to forward the message to others based on the opportunistic contact. The contact is related with the beaconing rate. In particular, nodes have more chances to encounter with each other with bigger beaconing rate, but more energy will be used. On the other hand, if the nodes forward the message to every node all the time, the efficiency of the routing algorithm is better, but it needs more energy, too. This paper tries to exploit the optimal beaconing rate and forwarding rate when the total energy is constraint. First, a theoretical framework is proposed, which can be used to evaluate the performance with different forwarding rate and beaconing rate. Then, this paper formulates a joint optimization problem based on the framework. Through Pontryagin's Maximal Principle, this paper obtains the optimal policy and proves that both the optimal forwarding and beaconing rates conform to threshold form. Simulation results show the accuracy of the theoretical framework. Extensive numerical results show that the optimal policy obtained in this paper is the best.

본 논문은 Delay Tolerant Networks(DTNs)에서 이동노드의 이동 속성 정보를 효율적으로 관리하여 목적노드를 지향하여 이동하는 중계노드를 선정하는 기법을 제안한다. 목적노드와 상이한 이동성을 가진 중계노드를 통해 전송 지연시간 및 패킷 손실이 발생할 가능성이 높아지게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 부정확한 이동 속성 정보로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 전송 지연시간 및 패킷 손실이 증가하는 문제를 해소하기 위해, 이동노드 간 이동 속성 정보를 관리하고 연결성을 분석함으로써 중계노드를 선정하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘에서 이동노드는 주기적으로 자신의 속도와 방향을 상황인식 매트릭스에 저장하며, 다른 이동노드와 통신이 확립되면 저장된 이동 속성 정보를 교환하게 된다. 또한 교환된 이동 속성 정보를 연결성으로 분석함으로써 목적노드를 지향하여 이동하는 중계노드를 선정한다. 주어진 모의실험 결과, 최신의 이동 속성 정보를 활용하여 중계노드를 선정함으로써 패킷전송률 측면에서 더 향상된 결과를 보여주었다.

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks are considered as special kind of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. VANETs are a new emerging recently developed, advanced technology that allows a wide set of applications related to providing more safety on roads, more convenience for passengers, self-driven vehicles, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) are networks that allow communication in the event of connection problems, such as delays, intermittent connections, high error rates, and so on. Moreover, these are used in areas that may not have end-to-end connectivity. The expansion from DTN to VANET resulted in Vehicle Delay Tolerant Networks (VDTN). In this approach, a vehicle stores and carries a message in its buffer, and when the opportunity arises, it forwards the message to another node. Carry-store-forward mechanisms, packets in VDTNs can be delivered to the destination without clear connection between the transmitter and the receiver. The primary goals of routing protocols in VDTNs is to maximize the probability of delivery ratio to the destination node, while minimizing the total end-to-end delay. DTNs are used in a variety of operating environments, including those that are subject to failures and interruptions, and those with high delay, such as vehicle ad hoc networks (VANETs). This paper discusses DTN routing protocols belonging to unicast delay tolerant position based. The comparison was implemented using the NS2 simulator. Simulation of the three DTN routing protocols GeOpps, GeoSpray, and MaxProp is recorded, and the results are presented.

본 논문에서는 Delay Tolerant Networks(DTNs)에서 노드의 속성 정보를 Markov Chain으로 분석하여 노드의 이동 경로를 예측하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 DTN에서 예측기반 라우팅 기법은 노드가 미리 정해진 스케줄에 따라 이동하거나 노드 간 접촉정보와 같은 추가 정보가 필요하다. 이러한 네트워크에서는 추가적인 정보가 없는 경우 노드의 신뢰성이 낮아진다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 노드의 속성 정보 중 노드의 속도와 방향성을 상태로 맵핑한 후, Markov chain을 이용하여 확률전이 매트릭스를 생성하여 노드의 이동 경로를 예측하는 알고리즘이다. 주어진 모의실험 환경에서 노드의 이동 경로 예측을 통해 중계 노드를 선정하여 라우팅 함으로써 메시지 전송률이 증가하고 전송 지연 시간이 감소함을 보여주고 있다.

While portable and wireless devices are pouring, a new network technology is needed as a breakthrough. The new network technology features large delays, intermittent connectivity, and absence of an end-to-end path from sources to destinations. A network which has one of those characteristics is called DTNs(Delay Tolerant Networks). The main 4 routing methods have been researched so far in extream environment. In this paper, we look into the reliability of DTMNs(Delay Tolerant Mobile Networks) in several different situations, and propose an algorithm that selects a positive routine by sending the only information of its position when making a connection to a detected node. We simulate the proposed algorithm here in DTN using ONE simulator. As a result, it shows that the algorithm reduces the number of message transmission each node.
