Opportunistic Networks (ONs) are the newly emerging type of Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) systems that opportunistically exploit unpredicted contacts among nodes to share information. As with all DTN environments ONs experience frequent and large delays, and an end-to-end path may only exist for a brief and unpredictable time. In this paper, we employ optimal theory to propose a novel buffer management strategy named Optimal Buffer Scheduling Policy (OBSP) to optimize the sequence of message forwarding and message discarding. In OBSP, global optimization considering delivery ratio, transmission delay, and overhead is adopted to improve the overall performance of routing algorithms. The simulation results show that the OBSP is much better than the existing ones.

Background & Objective: Routing is a popular challenge in ad hoc networks. A routing algorithm developed for one type of ad hoc network may be adapted for other. However, such adaptation is very difficult for Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) due to special DTN characteristics like latency, intermittency, disruptions, etc. and its applications in hostile environments like extreme terrestrial and space. Methods: We have used Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to develop a routing algorithm suited to DTNs. The ants wander for food and after few epochs they find shortest path to it. The ant’s movement in ACO can be mapped with propagation of messages that are replicated in DTN and look for their destination. Also, we apply an efficient buffer management method to boost the performance of our routing algorithm. Results & Conclusion: To highlight the effectiveness of our algorithm, the simulation results have been compared with some leading algorithms available in the literature and have found that our algorithm produces better result than other algorithms in terms of delivery, overhead and probability ratio.

In vehicular delay-tolerant networks, buffer management systems are developed to improve overall performance. However, these buffer memory management systems cannot simultaneously reduce network overload, reduce high priority message delivery time limit, and improve all priority class message delivery rates. As a result, quality of service is not guaranteed. In this paper, we propose a drop policy based on the constitution of two queues according to message weight, the position of the node in relation to the destination and the comparison of the oldness between the high-priority message and the messages in the low-priority queue. The results of the simulations show that compared to the existing buffer management policy based on time-to-live and priority, our strategy simultaneously reduces network overload, reduces the delivery time limit of high-priority messages and allows for an increase in the delivery rate of messages regardless of their priority.

Delay tolerant network (DTN) is one of the emerging technologies which is applied generally when there is no end-to-end path exists from source to destination all the time. The two major issues in DTN are routing and buffer management. Existing buffer management policies are based on one or more parameters such as message Time-to-Live, message age, message replication count, message size etc.,. There is no efficient approach is available for estimation of message replication count. In this work an efficient approach is proposed to estimate total number of copies of the message. The proposed buffer management approach prioritizes the messages and based on which the messages are forwarded/dropped from the buffer when there is a contact opportunity occurs/when the buffer is full. These priorities are based on message Time-to-Live, message age, message replication count and message size. This proposed buffer management policy is evaluated with two popular DTN routing protocols Spray-and-Wait and Prophet. The simulation results show that delivery probability of messages has increased with reduced buffer time average and minimized latency.
