Encounter based fuzzy logic routing in delay tolerant networks

Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are a newest class of networks that have the ability to provide connectivity to areas that are yet to be served by conventional networks. Routing in DTN is a tough task because nodes have no prior information about the partitioned network and transfer opportunities between peer nodes are limited. A node in a DTN delivers messages to the destination using the store and forward strategy. Messages are transmitted to multiple intermediate relay nodes encountered in order to increase the opportunity for the message to reach the destination. Encounter duration is the time period in which a pair or more mobile nodes move into the communication range of each other and hence are able to transfer messages between them. Since the node movements are arbitrary, the encounter duration is unpredictable. This research work proposes a novel encounter based fuzzy logic routing (EFLR) scheme to maximize message delivery with reduced overhead. The fuzzy based utility computation is used for finding a better node to forward messages as well as to drop messages from buffer. Simulation results reveal that EFLR performs better than other existing DTN routing protocols.

     

Random forest classifier‐based safe and reliable routing for opportunistic IoT networks

Designing a safe and reliable way for communicating the messages among the devices and humans forming the Opportunistic Internet of Things network (OppIoT) has been a challenge since the broadcast mode of message sharing is used. To contribute toward addressing such challenge, this paper proposes a Random Forest Classifier (RFC)‐based safe and reliable routing protocol for OppIoT (called RFCSec) which ensures space efficiency, hash‐based message integrity, and high packet delivery, simultaneously protecting the network against safety threats viz. packet collusion, hypernova, supernova, and wormhole attacks. The proposed RFCSec scheme is composed of two phases. In the first one, the RFC is trained on real data trace, and based on the output of this training, the second phase consists in classifying the encountered nodes of a given node as belonging to one of the output classes of nodes based on their past behavior in the network. This helps in proactively isolating the malicious nodes from participating in the routing process and encourages the participation of the ones with good message forwarding behavior, low packet dropping rate, high buffer availability, and a higher probability of delivering the messages in the past. Simulation results using the ONE simulator show that the proposed RFCSec secure routing scheme is superior to the MLProph, RLProph, and CAML routing protocols, chosen as benchmarks, in terms of legitimate packet delivery, probability of message delivery, count of dropped messages, and latency in packet delivery. The out‐of‐bag error obtained is also minimal     

Secure Multi-copy Routing in Compromised Delay Tolerant Networks

Routing in delay tolerant networks (DTNs) is challenging due to their unique characteristics of intermittent node connectivity. Different protocols (single-, multi-copy, erasure-coding-based etc.) utilizing store-carry-and-forward paradigm have been proposed to achieve routing of messages in such environments by opportunistic message exchanges between nodes that are in the communication range of each other. The sparsity and distributed nature of these networks together with the lack of stable connectivity between source destination pairs make these networks vulnerable to malicious nodes which might attempt to learn the content of the messages being routed between the nodes. In this paper, we study DTNs in which malicious nodes are present, to which we refer to as compromised DTNs. We discuss and analyze the effects of presence of malicious nodes on routing of messages in compromised DTNs. We propose a two period routing approach which aims at achieving the desired delivery ratio by a given delivery deadline in presence of malicious nodes. Our simulation results with both random networks and real DTN traces show that, with proper parameter setting, the proposed method can achieve delivery ratios which surpass those reached by other algorithms by a given delivery deadline.     

Impact of Bloom Filter on Infection Rate in Epidemic Forwarding for ICNs

Mobile ad hoc routing protocols fails in intermittently connected networks (ICN) (i.e. characterized by short-range communication and absence of connected path from source to destination). However, Epidemic routing techniques ensures eventual message delivery from source to destination even where there is never a connected path or when a network partition exists at the origin of message. Epidemic Routing uses random pair-wise messages exchanges between nodes with goals to maximize message delivery rate, minimize message latency, and the total resources consumed in message delivery. Epidemic routing uses summary vector to avoid useless transmission and redundancy. Further,to make summery vector efficient, epidemic routing can use bloom filter to significantly reduce the useless transmissions associated with the summary vector. However, the challenge for epidemic routing remains opens is to optimal design of summary vector size for finite buffer while keeping the benefits of infinite buffer space. This paper proposes an improved scheme of Bloom filter (named it modified bloom filter MBLF), which is tailored according to epidemic routing. We performed simulation to support our clam and observed that delivery ratio of MBLF with epidemic routing is 19 % higher then the traditional bloom filter. In this paper, we have proposed a bloom filter based epidemic forwarding for ICNs.     

Fuzzy Logic Based Distance and Energy-Aware Routing Protocol in Delay-Tolerant Mobile Sensor Networks

In challenged networks such as Wireless Sensor Networks, limitations such as nodes mobility, short radio range and sparse network density can prevent communications among nodes. Consequently, it can result in long delays in exchanging messages among nodes. Designing Delay-Tolerant Networks is considered to be an approach for dealing with lengthy breakdown of communication between nodes. Using multi-replica methods seems rational for these networks. However, a majority of these methods inject a large amount of replications of a message in the network so as to enhance message delivery probability which consequently leads to the loss of energy and reduction of network efficiency. Two major issues should be considered to achieve data delivery in such challenging networking environments: a routing strategy for the network and a buffer management policy. This study proposes a new routing protocol called Fuzzy-Logic based Distance and Energy Aware Routing protocol (FLDEAR) in delay tolerant mobile sensor network. A FLDEAR is a distance and energy aware protocol that reduces the number of message replications and uses two fuzzy inference systems in routing and buffer management. The results of conducted simulations indicated that this routing algorithm can be used for enhancing data packet delivery ratios and reducing data transmission overhead than several current Delay-Tolerant Mobile Sensor Networks routing protocols.     

A Reed-Solomon Based Method to Improve Message Delivery in Delay Tolerant Networks

Delay and Disruption Tolerant Networks are made up of mobile wireless nodes which may experience major message delivery restrictions. Such restrictions are the result of intermittent connectivity and scattered topology. Within these networks, messages can be detained for long periods of time or never be delivered. Existing solutions that purport improved message delivery rates modify routing protocols to perform integrity verification with each hop, resulting in routing overhead and, very often, unnecessary processing costs. This article proposes a scheme, named EMCOD, which decreases message delivery delay, while minimally increasing the processing overheads. To achieve this, EMCOD uses data encoding and interleaving to create messages. The original data is reassembled from some of the messages received, without the need to wait for all messages to be received. In scenarios subject to long delays and/or significant packet loss rates, it is possible to reduce original data recovery times by more than 50%. The processing overhead resulting from the encoding procedures is offset by the data recovery capabilities, which effectively decreases network overheads by more than 60%, in the same scenarios. EMCOD modifies the Bundle Layer, without interfering with the remaining layers, making it possible to route the messages through nodes that do not implement the proposed scheme.     

Contention aware mobility prediction routing for intermittently connected mobile networks

This paper introduces a novel multi-copy routing protocol, called predict and forward (PF), for delay tolerant networks, which aims to explore the possibility of using mobile nodes as message carriers for end-to-end delivery of the messages. With PF, the message forwarding decision is made by manipulating the probability distribution of future inter-contact and contact durations based on the network status, including wireless link condition and nodal buffer availability. In particular, PF is based on the observations that the node mobility behavior is semi-deterministic and could be predicted once there is sufficient mobility history information. We implemented the proposed protocol and compared it with a number of existing encounter-based routing approaches in terms of delivery delay, delivery ratio, and the number of transmissions required for message delivery. The simulation results show that PF outperforms all the counterpart multi-copy encounter-based routing protocols considered in the study.     

A link contact duration-based routing protocol in delay-tolerant networks

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) provide message delivery services to users via intermittently connected nodes. In DTNs, routing is one of the most challenging issues since end-to-end connectivity between nodes may not be available most of the time. Although many routing protocols for DTNs have been proposed, they do not achieve satisfactory performance, since they exploit only some of the network characteristics. In this paper, we present a new DTN routing protocol, called the Link Contact Duration-based Routing Protocol (LCD). Like existing protocols, LCD uses the disconnect duration of a link between two nodes to find the routing path with the shortest end-to-end delay. In addition, LCD uses the contact duration of a link and the number of buffered messages to deliver as many messages as possible in a short time. Our simulation results show that LCD has better performance than existing DTN routing protocols.     

Energy Efficient Forwarding Algorithm in Opportunistic Networks

In opportunistic networks,a successful message transmission between node pairs depends on the message size,the transmission speed and the connection duration time.This paper proposes a new message forwarding algorithm to improve the message delivery ratio and reduce the energy consumption.Previous encounter characteristics between nodes are used to estimate future connection duration time using a three point estimation method.Furthermore,the buffer utilization of nodes is used as a weight for the likelihoods to meet destinations according to the hop count of messages stored in the buffer.The simulation results show that the proposed forwarding algorithm achieves higher delivery ratio and less overhead ratio than the other four popular routing protocols.In addition,the proposed algorithm gains a better average residual energy performance among all the compared protocols.     

Enhanced fuzzy logic‐based spray and wait routing protocol for delay tolerant networks

Delay tolerant networks are a class of ad hoc networks that enable data delivery even in the absence of end‐to‐end connectivity between nodes, which is the basic assumption for routing in ad hoc networks. Nodes in these networks work on store‐carry and forward paradigm. In addition, such networks make use of message replication as a strategy to increase the possibility of messages reaching their destination. As contact opportunities are usually of short duration, it is important to prioritize scheduling of messages. Message replication may also lead to buffer congestion. Hence, buffer management is an important issue that greatly affects the performance of routing protocols in delay tolerant networks. In this paper, Spray and Wait routing protocol, which is a popular controlled replication‐based protocol for delay tolerant networks, has been enhanced using a new fuzzy‐based buffer management strategy Enhanced Fuzzy Spray and Wait Routing, with the aim to achieve increased delivery ratio and reduced overhead ratio. It aggregates three important message properties namely number of replicas of a message, its size, and remaining time‐to‐live, using fuzzy logic to determine the message priority, which denotes its importance with respect to other messages stored in a node's buffer. It then intelligently selects messages to schedule when a contact opportunity occurs. Because determination of number of replicas of a message in the network is a difficult task, a new method for estimation of the same has been proposed. Simulation results show improved performance of enhanced fuzzy spray and wait routing in terms of delivery ratio and resource consumption. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
