Abstract
The opportunistic network paradigm has no stable path and synchronous end-to-end communication. In such an environment, the bundle originator or the infected node stores a redundant copy in its buffer. This copy is replicated to other encountered susceptible nodes based on routing decision. The performance of the employed routing is based on delivering the bundle through optimal paths. This paper improves the decision criteria of the PRoPHET routing. This enhancement is achieved by employing the bundle probability and the optimal path hops. We have called our proposed improved PRoPHET utilizing Optimal Path Hops (PRoPHET-OPH). The evaluating of its performance is conducted by delivery probability, mean delay and percentage of overhead. Numerical findings exhibit that the PRoPHET-OPH performance is superior compared with the traditional PRoPHET.
