Integrated Routing Protocol for Opportunistic Networks
Anshul Verma, Dr. Anurag Srivastava

TL;DR
This paper introduces an integrated routing protocol for opportunistic networks that adaptively uses context-aware or context-oblivious strategies, improving message delivery and delay regardless of context information availability.
Contribution
The novel integrated routing protocol dynamically switches between context-based and oblivious routing, enhancing performance in diverse network scenarios.
Findings
Outperforms epidemic and PROPHET in message delivery probability
Reduces message delay in both context-aware and oblivious conditions
Demonstrates adaptability to varying levels of context information availability
Abstract
In opportunistic networks the existence of a simultaneous path is not assumed to transmit a message between a sender and a receiver. Information about the context in which the users communicate is a key piece of knowledge to design efficient routing protocols in opportunistic networks. But this kind of information is not always available. When users are very isolated, context information cannot be distributed, and cannot be used for taking efficient routing decisions. In such cases, context oblivious based schemes are only way to enable communication between users. As soon as users become more social, context data spreads in the network, and context based routing becomes an efficient solution. In this paper we design an integrated routing protocol that is able to use context data as soon as it becomes available and falls back to dissemination based routing when context information is…
