Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) enable communications where connectivity issues like intermittent and sparse connection, variable and long delay, high latency and even no end-to-end connectivity exist. Vehicular Delay Tolerant Networks (VDTNs) used the concept of DTNs where vehicles are used for data transmission. A specific class of VDTN considers two types of node: stationary nodes and mobile nodes. Stationary nodes are deployed along roadsides and mobile nodes restricted to move over the road. In this paper, we have proposed a new routing scheme which is an extension of probabilistic bundle relaying scheme with multi-hop. In this routing we have used multicopy, which allows multiple copies of message to be transmitted, and therefore the delivery ratio can be increased. We compared both the schemes to measure the benefits of multi-copy over the multi-hop routing scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
