Abstract

Message ferry is a way of communication in Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs). Various routing schemes for message ferries have been proposed so far. The efficiency of message delivery using message ferries depends on the routing scheme. Nomadic Lévy Walk that is a variant of Lévy Walk, is an eligible candidate for a message ferry routing scheme. It includes homing behavior in addition to the behavior similar to Lévy walk with strategic moving the home (sink) position. In this paper, we show the simulation result on the latency of message delivery by message ferries with Nomadic Lévy Walk in DTNs. Then we compare with other variant of Lévy walk regarding the latency. We also discuss the difference of the latency between the sink relocation strategies of Nomadic Lévy Walk.
