摘要
Epidemic-based routing algorithms can reliably transmit data in opportunistic networks. However, they have some redundant control overhead in sensing encountered nodes and exchanging data packets. To address the issue this paper proposes ERBEI (Efficient Routing Based on Exchange of Increments of packet indexes), an efficient low-delay routing algorithm. ERBEI transmits only the increments of packet indexes in the process of packet exchange, deletes the packets reaching destinations from nodes' memory, utilizes only the Hello messages to sense the encountered nodes, and sends the packets approaching their destinations firstly. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that ERBEI outperforms the classical epidemic routing algorithm and one of its present improvements in the terms of control overhead, end-to-end delay, and memory overhead.
