Abstract:

When introducing and analyzing routing protocols in intermittently connected wireless networks (ICWN), an enhanced probabilistic routing protocol is proposed using history of encounter and transitivity (EPROPHET) for ICWN. EPROPHET forwards messages to the nexthop according to the contact frequency and contact duration. Simulation indicates that EPROPHET saves the buffer space, improves the packet delivery ratio, and decreases the endtoend delay.
