Abstract

At the beginning, all the communication methods were mostly end-to-end contact based. But with the advancements in futuristic technologies and expansion of human mobility horizon, the previously mentioned communication scheme was less likely to fulfil the needs of the new modernized world. People are constantly moving and with this human mobility nature, the network has become sparser as well as intermittently connected. To deal with this nature of loosely connected human nodes Pocket Switched Network (PSN) which is a unique kind of Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) has been instigated. PSN mostly works in an Ad-hoc manner and it does not rely on any fixed infrastructure nor need the help of any Third party like telephone service providers. With the leaps of time and ever-changing technologies, researchers have provided many routing protocols in the field of PSN. This book chapter holds a brief discussion about all these routing protocols which have helped us to get to this level of successful communication through PSN where we are successful in sharing essential information in the event of any kind of natural disasters, war situations, environmental monitoring, urban sensing etc. even in the space with the help of wireless technologies (WiFi, Bluetooth). We have discussed the challenges faced in the PSN environment that are yet to overcome and its future application domain.
