Friend-Based Prediction Routing Protocol in Socially-Aware Opportunistic Networks

Abstract:

Mobile devices are popular used in peoples life. Generally, most of portable mobile devices are carried by people. Thus, the mobility of mobile devices is influenced heavily by peoples social relationship. Socially-aware Opportunistic Networks are used in intermittently connected networks by use of store-carry-and-forward fashion. It is mainly based on social relationship to design solutions for problem such as routing protocol or data dissemination. In this paper, we exploit social relationship about friendships information among people and use them to predict the contact opportunities. We present Friend-based Prediction routing protocol (FBP) and establish experiment based on ONE. The simulation results show that the efficiency of FBP outperforms Epidemic and PROPHET in higher delivery ratio, lower overhead and shorter average latency.
