A New DTN Routing Protocol for Sparse Airborne Networks

摘要

Previous works for airborne ad-hoc networks based on full connectivity is not suitable for actual situations in the sky. To solve this problem, in this poster, we propose a new DTN routing protocol by introducing multi-copy scheme with utility based forwarding. The proposed scheme introduces bounding box for dense deployment and new utility metric for data packet routing for sparse deployment. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the performance enhancement in sparse networks.
