Abstract

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are a type of networks which suffer from intermittent disruption due to the factors such as mobility and energy. Whereas only a little state of art routing algorithms in DTNs address the problem of message loss due to the insufficient contact capacity because of mobility. In this paper, to reduce these aborted messages due to fast mobility we propose a scheme that adopts two separate routing algorithms. Specifically, only one of them is activated according to the current encounter angle. Besides, before the final delivery, the copies of the message which has been carried by most of the nodes in the network are likely to be cleared out after custody transfer. Simulation results exhibit our proposed algorithm achieve a higher delivery ratio with lower overhead.
