Hooman Abasi, Mostafa Salehi, Vahid Ranjbar

TL;DR
This paper introduces HRSON, a novel zero-knowledge routing algorithm for smartphone-based opportunistic networks, which improves data delivery and reduces delay and overhead in infrastructure-based WiFi scenarios.
Contribution
HRSON is the first zero-knowledge routing algorithm designed for smartphone opportunistic networks using infrastructure-based WiFi, enabling effective self-organizing communication.
Findings
Increases average delivery rate
Lowers delay in data transmission
Reduces communication overhead
Abstract
Opportunistic networks are delay-tolerant networks which enable network connectivity while there is limited access to network infrastructure, such as natural disaster happenings. Since opportunistic networks use store-carry-forward mechanism to deliver data, routing algorithms have significant impact on successful data delivery. Due to the Operating System restrictions, creating an opportunistic network using ad-hoc model is not feasible on smartphones and to the best of our knowledge, none of common zero-knowledge routing algorithms have been proposed for a non-ad hoc communication model. In this paper, we propose HRSON, a zero-knowledge routing algorithm in a self-organizing approach that an opportunistic infrastructure-based WiFi network is built to use smartphones. We have deployed our approach in simulated scenario of working days of people, whom are using smartphones, on Helsinki…
