An Analytical Incorporation of Power Priority Model with Replication and Expedition based Routing Protocol

Abstract

Delay tolerant network (DTN) is a class of wireless ad-hoc network. It works when end to end direct path does not exist between source and destination by using the Store and Forwarding routing mechanism. DTN has several features such as long delay, limited resources, high error rate, reliable transmission etc. Its application fields are in wildlife behavior monitoring, military battle field, post disaster communication, under water communication and many more. The purpose of this paper is to compare between two different strategic (Replication and Expedition based) routing protocols with the Power Priority Model, which is proposed in recently. The evaluated result of this performance analysis was obtained from Opportunistic Network Environment (ONE) simulator on various performance metrics such as, Delivery Probability, Overhead ratio, Average latency and Hop count.
