Network Coding Based Forwarding Using Human Mobility Pattern

Abstract

Packet Switched Network(PSN)has attracted many researchers because of its growing area of applications. PSN is such a network where traditional MANET algorithms can not work efficiently because there is no end to end connectivity between source and destination. It is a Opportunistic Network where it has to use the opportunity of forwarding data to intermediate nodes so that it can send data to destination/destinations via relay nodes. There are several Forwarding based methods which can be used for PSN. Using social based approach for Forwarding we can improve delivery probability and also reduce delay. Using Network Coding we can make use of broadcasting behavior of Wireless Network. We can reduce Network load and we can improve efficiency. Using Bubble Rap algorithm for social based forwarding and Random Linear Network Coding(RLNC)for network coding a new algorithm is developed. Simulation is done in the ONE simulator. Simulation results shows network coding approach has reduced delay in forwarding.
