A message relaying method with a dynamic timer considering non-signal duration from neighboring nodes for vehicular DTN

Abstract

For End-to-End (E2E) communication in a sparse vehicular network is needed a flexible message delivery method that can be applied for large transmission delay and link disconnection. In this paper, we propose a message relaying method with dynamic timer considering non-signal duration from neighboring vehicles for Vehicular Delay/Disruption/Disconnection Tolerant Networking (DTN). From the simulation results, we found that our proposed method can provide a high delivery rate by using the dynamic timer in Vehicular DTN.
