DTN is the next generation network that is used in not guaranteed end-to-end connection such as communication between planet and satellite, frequent connection severance, and not enough for qualified network infrastructure. In this paper, we propose the hybrid Spray-and-Wait algorithm to predict the node contact time by monitoring the periodic contacts information between the nodes. Based on this method, we select one node on the basis of prediction time and copy a message for spray and wait algorithm. In order to verify the the hybrid Spray and Wait algorithm, we use the ONE(Opportunistic Network Environment) Simulator of Helsinki University. The delivery probability of the proposed algorithm is compared to the Binary Spray and Wait algorithm, it is showed that it has 10% less overhead than Binary Spray and Wait routing. It has also shown that it reduces unnecessary copying of this message.

Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) is a network that employed method of store-carry-forward in intermittently connected networks. In DTNs, routing and buffer management scheme are important to improve successful message delivery. This paper proposes an improve spray and wait routing protocol based on delivery probability to a destination. Also, a buffer management scheme is proposed to drop the queued messages according to the number of copies (L value). Simulation results show that the proposed method provides a better delivery ratio and lower communication overhead when compared to existing schemes such as Epidemic, PRoPHET and spray and wait.

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.
