Abstract

In this paper, we use the Opportunistic Network Environment environment to simulate a data collection application using a Delay Tolerant Network (DTN). A group of sensor nodes sense data from the environment and send these data to a destination node that collects them for statistical and data analysis purposes. Pedestrians and cyclist equipped with smart devices moving in Tirana city roads, will relay the sensed data via opportunistic contacts. Different simulations are done to identify among five routing protocols the most suitable for our DTN application.
