Abstract

Opportunistic networks are challenging networks characterised by frequency disconnections and partitioning. The data propagation process follows a “store-carry-and-forward” transmission manner, instead of the usual “hop-by-hop” forwarding model. In view of the impact of history information of nodes on whether messages are successfully delivered to destination, the scheme based on history meeting predictability routing(HMPR) is put forward. The scheme is primarily based on the contact duration and the meeting frequency of history information of network nodes, and predicts the utility of messages successfully delivered to the destination. Through comparing the utility value, nodes can determine messages whether to be forwarded. The simulation results show that, compared this scheme with traditional Epidemic routing and Prophet routing, the proposed routing scheme has the higher delivery ratio of packets, the lower overhead ratio and the less average buffer time.
