Advances in Delay-tolerant Networks (DTNs): Architecture and Enhanced Performance

Part one looks at delay-tolerant network architectures and platforms including DTN for satellite communications and deep-space communications, underwater networks, networks in developing countries, vehicular networks and emergency communications. Part two covers delay-tolerant network routing, including issues such as congestion control, naming, addressing and interoperability. Part three explores services and applications in delay-tolerant networks, such as web browsing, social networking and data streaming. Part four discusses enhancing the performance, reliability, privacy and security of delay-tolerant networks. Chapters cover resource sharing, simulation and modeling and testbeds. Reviews the different types of DTN and shows how they can be applied in satellite and deep-space communications, vehicular and underwater communications, and during large-scale disasters Considers the potential for rapid selection and dissemination of urgent messages is considered Reviews the breadth of areas in which DTN is already providing solutions and the prospects for its wider adoption INDICE: List of contributorsWoodhead Publishing Series in Electronic and Optical MaterialsPreface1: An introduction to delay and disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs)Abstract1.1 Introduction1.2 Delay-tolerant network architecture1.3 DTN application scenarios1.4 DTN routing protocols1.5 ConclusionAcknowledgementsPart One: Types of delay-tolerant networks (DTNs)2: Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) for satellite communicationsAbstract2.1 Introduction2.2 DTN architecture2.3 Geosynchronous (GEO) constellations2.4 Low earth orbit (LEO) constellations2.5 ConclusionAcknowledgements3: Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) for deep-space communicationsAbstract3.1 Introduction3.2 Data communications in deep space3.3 Networking requirements for deep-space data3.4 Implementing a deep-space DTN solution3.5 Summary4: Vehicular delay-tolerant networks (VDTNs)Abstract4.1 Introduction4.2 Vehicular network applications4.3 Vehicular communications4.4 Vehicular delay-tolerant networks4.5 ConclusionAcknowledgments5: Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) for underwater communicationsAbstract5.1 Introduction5.2 Related work5.3 A contemporary view of underwater delay-tolerant networks5.4 Future trends5.5 Conclusion6: Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) for emergency communicationsAbstract6.1 Introduction6.2 Overview of proposed DTN solutions6.3 Mobility models for emergency DTNs6.4 DistressNet6.5 Routing protocols for emergency DTNs6.6 Minimizing energy consumption in emergency DTNs6.7 Conclusions and future trendsPart Two: Improving the performance of delay-tolerant networks (DTNs)7: Assessing the Bundle Protocol (BP) and alternative approaches to data bundling in delay-tolerant networks (DTNs)Abstract7.1 Introduction7.2 DTN architecture and Bundle Protocol implementation profiles7.3 Alternative approaches7.4 Future trends7.5 Sources of further information and advice8: Opportunistic routing in mobile ad hoc delay-tolerant networks (DTNs)Abstract8.1 Introduction8.2 Challenges8.3 Overview of multiple existing opportunistic routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks8.4 Combining on-demand opportunistic routing protocols8.5 Open research topics and future trends8.6 Sources of further information and advice9: Reliable data streaming over delay-tolerant networks (DTNs)Abstract9.1 Introduction9.2 Challenges for streaming support in DTNs9.3 Using on-the-fly coding to enable robust DTN streaming9.4 Evaluation of existing streaming proposals over a DTN network9.5 Implementation discussion9.6 Conclusion10: Rapid selection and dissemination of urgent messages over delay-tolerant networks (DTNs)Abstract10.1 Introduction10.2 One-to-many communication in resource-constrained environments10.3 Random Walk Gossip (RWG)10.4 RWG and message differentiation10.5 Evaluation with vehicular mobility models10.6 Discussion11: Using social network analysis (SNA) to design socially aware network solutions in delay-tolerant networks (DTNs)Abstract11.1 Introduction11.2 Social characteristics of DTNs11.3 Social-based human mobility models11.4 Socially aware data forwarding in DTNs11.5 Conclusion12: Performance issues and design choices in delay-tolerant network (DTN) algorithms and protocolsAbstract12.1 Introduction12.2 Performance metrics12.3 Processing overhead12.4 The curse of copying - I/O performance matters12.5 Throughput12.6 Latency and queuing12.7 Discovery latency and energy issues12.8 Conclusions13: The quest for a killer app for delay-tolerant networks (DTNs)Abstract13.1 Introduction13.2 The quest for a problem13.3 DTN as an enabling technology13.4 Conclusions and future trends13.5 Sources of further information and adviceIndex
