Abstract:
As the proliferation of wireless devices continues to outpace the necessary infrastructure to support them everywhere, intermittent connectivity is becoming common in certain wireless access networks. Today's existing network protocols are not resilient to disruption of communication links and communication often fails when faced with sporadic connectivity. Thus, there is a growing interest in Intermittently Connected Mobile Networks (also know as Mobile Opportunistic Networks) and a number of routing protocols and frameworks have been proposed in the literature to address the problem. Different priority classes, each containing different priority levels are introduced. The paper concludes with numerical results from simulation, which takes into account bit errors, hidden nodes and capture.
