    Abstract

    Delay Tolerant Networks have been emerged to support intermittent connectivity of frequently partitioned networks. A routing issue of Delay Tolerant Networks is concerned about the extremely long delay of opportunistic intermittent connections. For considering routing protocols of Delay Tolerant Networks, a forwarding decision and the buffer management scheme are important to improve the successful message delivery opportunity. In this paper, we propose the composite methods to improve Spray and Wait routing protocol. The proposed method consists of the use of an ACK message and message forwarding based on the delivery probability. The proposed composite methods can resolve the disadvantages of Spray and Wait routing protocol. In according to the simulation, the proposed method shows better delivery rate and lower communication overhead compared to other routing protocols.
