Impact of Mobility Models on Supp-tran Optimized Dtn Spray and Wait Routing Protocol

The delay-tolerant networks (DTN) are networks that support communication between nodes when connectivity is intermittent, due to the difficulties encountered in this type of environment, such as node mobility frequently changing network topology, this which does not allow to route messages directly between the source and destination, the routing algorithms must consider mobility to increase the rate of message delivery. In our previous work of Supp-Tran we examine that spray and wait router was not showing good delivery probability in case of SPMBM mobility model and FIFO forwarding strategy compared to our Supp-Tran strategy. This paper compares the behavior of the FIFO strategy used by default with spray and wait routing protocol and that of our Supp-Tran strategy under different type of mobility, to do that the most mobility models used are chosen to show how mobility model affects the forwarding strategy using as performance metric such as delivery probability, the number of dropped messages , buffer time average, the overhead ratio and average number of hops.
