Title
Impact analysis of the shortest path movement model on routing strategies for VDTNs in a rural region
Subject
Vehicular delay-tolerant network Asynchronous internet access Rural remote region
Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Network (VDTN) appears as a particular application of the Delay-Tolerant Network (DTN) concept to transit networks. In this paper we analyze the use of a VDTN to provide asynchronous Internet access on a rural remote region scenario. Through simulation we evaluate the impact of a shortest path based movement model on the performance of four DTN routing protocols in respect to message delivery probability and message average delay. Part of this work has been supported by the Instituto de Telecomunicações, Portugal, in the framework of the Project VDTN@Lab, and by the Euro-NF Network of Excellence of Seven Framework Programme of EU.
