Abstract

In Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), there exists only intermittent connectivity between communication sources and destinations. In order to provide successful communication services for these challenged networks, a variety of relaying and routing algorithms have been proposed with the assumption that nodes are homogeneous in terms of contact rates and delivery costs. However, various applications of DTN have shown that mobile nodes should be divided into different classes in terms of their energy requirements and communication ability, and real application data have revealed the heterogeneous contact rates between node pairs. In this paper, we design an optimal relaying scheme for DTNs, which takes into account nodes’ heterogeneous contact rates and delivery costs when selecting relays to minimise the delivery cost while satisfying the required message delivery probability. Extensive results based on real traces demonstrate that our relaying scheme requires the least delivery cost and achieves the largest maximum delivery probability, compared with the schemes that neglect nodes’ heterogeneity.
