Abstract:
In this work, the performance of a store-and-forward protocol in M2ANET is investigated. The current protocols in MANETs require an end-to-end connected path between source and destination to transmit data. In a store-and-forward protocol packets are allowed to be carried at any node for a period of time until the node gets connected to another node and is able to retransmit the packets. The store-and-forward protocol is shown to maintain communication even if the end-to-end connection never occurs. Among the proposed store-and-forward protocols the GPS (Global Positioning System) enabled produce the largest throughput in the network.
