Relay Node Selection Method using Node-to-node Connectivity and Masking Operation in Delay Tolerant Networks

Abstract

This paper propose an improving relay node selection method for node-to-node connectivity. This concern with the mobility and analysis of deployed for masking operation using highest connectivity node. The major of Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) routing protocols make use of simple forwarding approach to transmit the message depend on the node's mobility. In this cases, the selection of the irrelevant mobile node induced the delay and packet delivery loss caused by limiting buffer size and computational power of node. Also the proposed algorithm provides the node connectivity considering the mobility and direction select the highest connectivity node from neighbor node using masking operation. From the simulation results, the proposed algorithm compared the packet delivery ratio with PROPHET and Epidemic. The proposed Enhanced Prediction-based Context-awareness Matrix(EPCM) algorithm shows an advantage packet delivery ratio even with selecting relay node according to mobility and direction.
