DTN Routing Performance Evaluation under Random Waypoint with Base Point Mobility Model

Abstract:

Mobility models are drawing increasing attention since it plays an indispensable role in delay tolerant networks performance evaluation (e.g., routing performance evaluation). Random Waypoint with Base Point (RWPBP) mobility model aims to model the movement characteristics in catastrophe rescue scenario. RWPBP mobility model can represent different movement styles according to different parameters. In this paper, we consider the traffic scenario that all the data generated by the nodes need to be sent to the base point, and evaluate the performance of the five DTN routing protocols (i.e., DirectDelivery, Epidemic, PROPHET, SpayAndWait and FirstContact) under the RWPBP mobility model with different parameters. Epidemic performs best in our experiment, since the traffic is not heavy in catastrophe rescue scenario.
