Abstract

Multi-copy routing may cause the excessive consumption of network resources in Vehicular Delay Tolerant Network (VDTN). Most existing routing algorithms only consider controlling the redundant messages in the global network to improve performance, but the local road redundancy still exists. In this paper, we propose a cluster based VDTN routing algorithm with multi-attribute decision-making (CR-MA) in urban areas. CR-MA enables nodes aware of local message distribution. We consider both the message distribution as coverage and the node and network attributes to establish a multi-attribute decision-making model which manages to achieve tradeoff between message redundancy and delivery performance. CR-MA is benchmarked in simulation against Prophet, Epidemic and SAW. Experiment results proves its superiority in both message routing effective, performance, and overhead.
