Bee routing protocol for intermittently connected mobile networks

Abstract

The Wireless and the Mobile Networks appear to provide a wide range of applications. The achievement of the real world applications are attained through effective routing. The Intermittently Connected Mobile Network (ICMN) is a sparse network where a full connectivity is never possible. ICMN is a disconnected mobile network and is also a Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) that sustains for higher delays. The routing in a disseminated network is a difficult task. A new routing scheme called Bee Routing Protocol (BRP) is been proposed with a motto of achieving optimal result in delivering the data packet towards the destined node. BRP is proposed with the basis of Bee Colony Optimization technique (BCO). The routing in ICMN is done by means of Bee routing protocol. The efficiency of BRP is enchanted in contrast to existing Epidemic routing and Spray and Wait routing protocols. This paper captivates a novel routing methodology for data transmission in ICMN.
