HRSON: Home-based Routing for Smartphones in Opportunistic Networks
Opportunistic networks are delay-tolerant networks which enable network
connectivity while there is limited access to network infrastructure, such as
natural disaster happenings. Since opportunistic networks use
store-carry-forward mechanism to deliver data, routing algorithms have
significant impact on successful data delivery. Due to the Operating System
restrictions, creating an opportunistic network using ad-hoc model is not
feasible on smartphones and to the best of our knowledge, none of common
zero-knowledge routing algorithms have been proposed for a non-ad hoc
communication model. In this paper, we propose HRSON, a zero-knowledge routing
algorithm in a self-organizing approach that an opportunistic
infrastructure-based WiFi network is built to use smartphones. We have deployed
our approach in simulated scenario of working days of people, whom are using
smartphones, on Helsinki map comparing to common zero-knowledge routing
algorithms. The results show that our solution increases the average
delivery-rate and lowers delay and commutation overhead
