Speech Title: Probabilistic Home-based Routing Scheme for Delay Tolerant Networks

Abstract: In traditional Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET) routing algorithms, the existence of a sustainable path between the source and destination is a crucial issue. Despite the rapid advancement in Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies, these algorithms are shown to be unsuccessful in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) since the network is almost disrupted, and then such a path is not guaranteed. Although Store-and-Forward routing approach has provided an adequate solution for these networks, it suffers from the large end-to-end delay and the additional traffic and communication costs incurring the network. In this talk, I will present the most recent work on routing in DTNs. Then, I will introduce an efficient single-copy home-based routing scheme for DTNs via two different scenarios, blind and semi-blind, based on the amount of available knowledge about the destination. Simulation results presented in this Speech will demonstrate how efficient the presented scheme is with reference to the Epidemic, the unrestricted flooding algorithm. Moreover, compared to state-of-art algorithms, the presented scheme showed tremendous performance improvement in terms of communication cost, end-to-end delay and successful delivery ratio.
