摘要

Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) routing can be divided into three types:message-replication-based, network-knowledge-based, and network-coding-based. In this paper, we design replication-based protocol and use the forwarded history of messages at nodes for them to make asynchronous routing decision. We called it Forwarded history-based (FH) algorithm. FH only selects a subset of relay node candidates as the potential carriers of a message in order to decrease the total traffic generated by message replication. Simulation results are used to establish the effectiveness of the FH algorithm.
