Analytical Framework for Contact Time Evaluation in Delay-Tolerant Networks

摘要: In the last few years, there has been an increasing concern about stochastic properties of contact-based metrics under general mobility models in delay-tolerant networks. Such a will provide first step toward detailed performance analysis various routing/forwarding algorithms and shed light on better design network protocols realistic patterns. However, throughout variety research works this topic, most interests rather focused inter-contact time while other such as contact received too little interest. paper, we analytical framework to estimate networks based some recent key results derived from biology statistical physics studying spontaneous displacement insects ants. particular, analytically derive closed-form expression for average value random waypoint model then give approximation its distribution function.
