Disruption/Delay Tolerant Network(DTN) is a technology for interconnecting partitioned networks. These days, DTN, especially routing in DTN, draws significant attention from the networking community. In this paper, we investigate DTN routing strategies for highly partitioned ad hoc networks where Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) perform store-carry-forward functionality for improved network connectivity. Also we investigate UAV trajectory control mechanisms via simulation studies.

Delay and Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) employs message delivery based on a store-and-forward method to conquer no guarantee of continuous end-to-end connectivity. Different from general networks, it is hard for the existing TCP/IP-based routing protocols to correctly work, due to the characteristics such as large latency and unstable link connectivity. Thus, many recent studies focus on routing protocols for DTN. In this paper, we propose a novel routing protocol for DTN with efficient message delivery utilizing mobility information such as direction or destination of mobile nodes. And this protocol is enhanced in terms of delivery ratio, decreases latency and overhead compared to the previously proposed solutions. Simulation results prove its superiority.

Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Network (DTN) has been considered as a key technology to overcome main challenges in interplanetary communications such as an intermittent connectivity and high bit error rates. The lack of end-to-end connectivity between source and destination results in long and variable delays and data loss, hence the Internet Protocols cannot operate properly in such environments because it requires an end-to-end connectivity. The DTN, which utilizes 'store-and-forward' message passing scheme between nodes, can overcome the lack of end-to-end connectivity in Interplanetary Network (IPN). In this paper, DTN is applied to 3-hop relay IPN, where messages are transmitted from Earth ground station to Lunar lander through Earth satellite and Lunar orbiter. ONE simulator is used to reflect the real environment of IPN and an efficient resource management method are analyzed to guarantee the message delivery by optimizing a message TTL (Time to Live), buffer size and message fragmentation.

The intent is to determine whether or not the custody transfer is helpful for data transmission in challenging underwater communications when running Bundle protocol or underwater protocols. From the point of view defending side, Underwater Acoustic Network (UAN) will be a serious threat for its strong functionality long rang and high precision of surveillance and detection. Therefore, countermeasures must be taken to weaken its effect. Our purpose is analyzed that how to benefit from the UIoT to learn from, exploit and preserve the natural underwater resources. Delay/Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) is essential part of the network heterogeneity communication network. The vulnerability and potential security factors of UIoT are studied thereafter. Security mechanisms for an underwater environment are difficult to apply owing to the limited bandwidth. Therefore, for underwater security, appropriate security mechanisms and security requirements must be defined simultaneously. The paper consists of mathematical and security model. Most important point of view in the security challenges of effective Buffer and Storage management in DTN.

In this paper, a multicast mechanism is proposed for intermittently disconnected networks where the nodes move forward in formation or within a limited area. The proposed scheme extends the well-known tree-based multicast routing mechanism called MAODV by modifying the tree construction and data delivery scheme. Especially, an algorithm is introduced which determines the flooding hop count k estimating the degree of the movement of children in the tree. The performance evaluation was done by the simulation and the proposed scheme was compared with MAODV and two multicast routing schemes for DTN (Disruption Tolerant Network) including the Epidemic routing and ST-multicast. The evaluation results show that our scheme improves the original MAODV from the aspect of tree reconstruction events and message delivery ratio. Compared with the Epidemic routing scheme, our scheme achieves 85% message delivery ratio with less than 50% message delivery overhead.

Routing protocols in Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networks(DTN) are important to enhance the performance of transmission delay and delivery success ratio. In this paper, we propose an efficient DTN routing algorithm, called "Nobility Pattern based Routing(MPR)", that controls the total number of transferred message copies based on mobility patterns of mobile nodes. We consider a realistic "Levy walk" mobility pattern that has a super-diffusive property which well represents human mobility pattern. We implemented a DTN simulator using ONE simulator for the proposed MPR algorithm and Levy walk mobility pattern. Simulation results show that mobility patterns are very important for accurate evaluation of DTN routing performance, and the proposed MPR enhances the routing performance of delivery delay and success delivery ratio under realistic mobility pattern.

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.

DTN(Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networks)은 노드의 불규칙적인 움직임으로 인한 연결단절과 불안정한 연결 상태를 극복하기 위해 효율적인 포워딩 전략이 필요하다. 제시하는 알고리즘은 노드의 속도, 방향 등의 상황정보를 활용하며 이를 통해 이후의 이동성을 예측하여 포워딩할 중계노드를 선택하기 위한 방법을 고려한다. 본 논문에서는 중계노드들의 상관관계를 분석하여 안정된 경로를 제공하기 위해 노드의 상황정보를 예측하는 EPCM(Efficient Prediction-based Context-awareness Matrix) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 위해 상황 매트릭스라는 상황 분석 도구를 사용하여 시간에 따라 상황정보를 저장하고, 변화의 추이를 분석하여 노드의 속도, 방향 등의 정보를 예측하는데 활용된다. EPCM 알고리즘은 예측된 상황정보를 활용하여 노드 간 미래의 연결성을 분석하고 중계노드를 선택함으로써 안정된 포워딩 경로를 제공할 수 있고, 불필요한 포워딩으로 인한 자원 낭비를 방지할 수 있다. 제안하는 알고리즘을 시뮬레이션 해본 결과 예측된 상황정보의 값이 실제의 값에 대하여 약 2%내의 오차율을 나타내어 예측의 정확도를 확인하였다.

The Delay/Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) is a network designed to operate effectively using the mobility and storage of intermediate nodes under no end-to-end guaranteed network. This new network paradigm is well-suited for networks which have unstable path and long latencies (e.g. interplanetary network, vehicular network). In this paper, we first found that each taxi has its own regularly visiting area and define this property as spatial regularity. We analyze 4000 taxi trace data in Shanghai and show the existence of spatial regularity experimentally. Based on a spatial regularity in urban environment, we present a new DTN routing method. We introduce a Weighted Center (WC) which represents spatial regularity of each node. Through the association with evenly distributed access points (APs) in urban environment, most of vehicles get their grid locations and calculate their WCs. Since our routing method only uses neighbors' WCs for building routing paths, it can be regarded as distributed and practical protocols. Our experiments involving realistic network scenarios created by the traces of about 1500 Shanghai taxies show that our routing method achieves the higher performance compared to ECT, LET by 10%~110%.

동적 움직임을 가지는 노드에 대한 DTN(Delay/Disruption Tolerant Network)은 노드의 연결단절 및 불규칙적인 노드의 움직임에 의한 불안정한 상태를 해결하는 방법 중 하나이다. 특히 DTN은 재난상황 또는 움직임이 많은 노드간의 상관관계를 분석하여 노드 간 연결 확립을 보장함으로써 데이터 연결성과 전송률을 개선한다. 본 논문은 노드의 움직임에 대한 속성 정보를 기반하여 구성된 클러스터 구조의 네트워크에서 헤드노드 간의 연결 가능성을 분석하며 데이터를 목적지까지 포워딩하는 방식으로 망을 제어 유지하기 위한 방법으로 EPCM(Efficient Prediction-based Context-Awareness Matrix) 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 적용한 상황 매트릭스는 시간에 따른 헤드노드들의 움직임과 속도 등의 상황 예측이 가능한 정보를 포함한 포워딩 분석 요소를 제공한다. EPCM 알고리즘은 노드가 주기적인 이동성을 가진다는 가정 하에 포워딩에 요구되는 상관관계를 연산 분석하여 예측 경로를 제공한다. 노드의 이동에 의해 경로가 변화하는 환경에서 EPCM 알고리즘은 상황 매트릭스를 통해 헤드노드의 연결 정보를 저장하고 관리함으로써 연결성을 보장하고 짧은 지연시간에 효율적인 전송이 가능할 것이다.
