Abstract
Opportunistic networks (OppNets) are subclass of delay tolerant networks where mobile nodes connect and exchange routing information whenever they are in the communication range of one another. In OppNets, the information exchange among mobile nodes is achieved by exploiting the high mobility and local forwarding of these nodes. In this sense, the routing information is replicated among the mobile nodes in the network, which in turn increases the speed of dissemination in the network and ensures the redundancy of routing information against node failure. However, frequent exchange of the routing information among the mobile nodes can lead to high-energy consumption on nodes, thereby lowering network performance. This paper proposes energy-efficient version of Epidemic and MaxProp routing protocols that limit the energy consumed during the exchange of routing information among the mobile nodes. A comparative study of the proposed routing protocols and energy-efficient PRoPHET and Spry-and-Wait is also presented.
