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.

Influence propagation is an important research issue in social networks. Influence propagation means that the status or the disposition of nodes get changed by new idea, information and gossip propagated by other nodes. Influenced nodes also make other nodes influenced across the network. The influence propagation problem based on 'word of mouth' referral is to find most influential nodes set in networks to maximize influence. In this paper, we study the influence measuring and finding most influential nodes set in Delay-Tolerant Networks. It is difficult to measure exact influential power in Delay-Tolerant networks where network topology is not stable due to the nodal mobility. In this paper, we propose a distributed scheme that each node constructs $k$-clique community structure and estimates local influential power in Delay-Tolerant Networks. Simulation results show that the influential nodes information estimated by proposed scheme is in agreement with a global view of influential nodes information.

사회관계망에서 영향력 전파 문제는 네트워크에 가장 영향력을 끼칠 수 있는 노드들을 찾아 전체 네트워크에 영향력을 최대화 하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 논문에서는 Delay-Tolerant Networks에서 각 노드의 영향력을 측정하여 가장 영향력 있는 노드 집합을 선택하는 문제를 다룬다. 노드 간 연결성이 항시 보장되지 않는 Delay-Tolerant Networks 환경에서는 전체 네트워크 정보를 정확히 알 수 없기 때문에 노드의 영향력을 정확히 측정하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 Delay-Tolerant Networks 환경에서 분산 방식으로 각자 노드가 k-Clique 구조로 커뮤니티를 구성하여 국지적 정보 (Local Information)만을 활용하여 자신의 영향력을 추정하는 방법을 제시하고 실험을 통해 제안 기법으로 산출한 노드들의 영향력이 전체 네트워크 관점에서 산출한 노드들의 영향력에 근접함을 실험을 통해 증명한다.

This study is situated in the context of intelligent transport systems, where in-vehicle devices assist drivers to avoid accidents and therefore improve road safety. The vehicles present in a given area form an ad' hoc network of vehicles called vehicular ad' hoc network. In this type of network, the nodes are mobile vehicles and the messages exchanged are messages to warn about obstacles that may hinder the correct driving. Node mobilities make it impossible for inter-node communication to be end-to-end. Recognizing this characteristic has led to delay-tolerant vehicular networks. Embedded devices have small buffers (memory) to hold messages that a node needs to transmit when no other node is within its visibility range for transmission. The performance of a vehicular delay-tolerant network is closely tied to the successful management of the nodes' transit buffer. In this paper, we propose a message transit buffer management model for nodes in vehicular delay tolerant networks. This model consists in setting up, on the one hand, a policy of dropping messages from the buffer when the buffer is full and must receive a new message. This drop policy is based on the concept of intermediate node to destination, queues and priority class of service. It is also based on the properties of the message (size, weight, number of hops, number of replications, remaining time-to-live, etc.). On the other hand, the model defines the policy for selecting the message to be transmitted. The proposed model was evaluated with the ONE opportunistic network simulator based on a 4000m x 4000m area of downtown Bouaké in Côte d'Ivoire. The map data were imported using the Open Street Map tool. The results obtained show that our model improves the delivery ratio of security alert messages, reduces their delivery delay and network overload compared to the existing model. This improvement in communication within a network of vehicles can contribute to the improvement of road safety.

Delay-Tolerant Network employs message forwarding based on a Store, Carry and Forward method to conquer no guarantee of continue connectivity. For this reason, a lot of DTN routing scheme have been proposed recently. message forwarding is an important research issue in delay-tolerant network and In this paper, we propose a efficiency DTN routing scheme using node's social relation and expanded Ego-network betweenness centrality. Our simulation results show that it is more efficient to message delivery cost than Epidemic routing, Friendship routing while it has a little performance degradation of message delivery ratio.

Delay-Tolerant Network (DTN) is an asynchronous networking technology that has been deployed for the networking environment in which steady communication paths are not available, and therefore it stores receiving data in a data storage and forward them only when the communication links are established. DTN can be applied to sensor networks and mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) as well as space communication that supports data transmissions among satellites. In DTN networking environments, it is very important to secure a scheme that has relatively low routing overhead and high reliability, so that it can enhance the overall routing speed and performance. In order for achieving efficient data transmissions among the nodes that have comparatively periodic moving patterns, this paper proposes a time information based DTN routing scheme which is able to predict routing paths. From the simulation results using Omnet++ simulation tools, it has been verified that the proposed time information based DTN routing algorithm shows satisfied levels of routing speed and routing reliability even with lower routing overheads.

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.

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.

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.

Delay Tolerant Network (DTN)란 노드 간 통신의 지연 시간이 길고 연결 단절이 자주 일어나는 네트워크 상황에서 데이터를 안정적으로 전달할 수 있도록 지원할 수 있는 네트워크를 말한다. DTN은 노드들 간의 연결 정도의 강약을 파악하여 연결 정도가 높은 노드를 통해 목적 노드로 메시지를 전달하는 방식을 사용한다. 노드들의 움직임이 빠르고 서로간의 거리가 멀어 지속적인 종단 간 연결성이 보장 되지 않는 상황일 때 DTN을 사용하면 안정적인 전송이 가능하다. 이때 이 노드들의 움직임을 예측 할 수 있다면 더 효과적인 메시지 전달이 가능 할 것이다. 이 논문에서는 이동 노드의 속도와 목적지 등과 같은 이동성 정보를 이용해 노드의 위치를 예측하여 효과적인 메시지 전달 경로를 결정하는 이동 예측 기반의 DTN 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘은 Mobility Strategy Sharing Location Service Protocol을 발전시켜 위치 정보 업데이트의 오버헤드를 최소화한다.
