Power-saving NDN-based message delivery based on collaborative communication in disasters

Abstract

This paper proposes an NDN-based message delivery protocol over a cellular network in disasters. Collaborative communication among cellular devices is integrated into the protocol so that power consumed by battery-operated BSs (Base Stations) is reduced when a breakout occurs. A key idea is to reduce consumed radio resources by making cellular devices of which radio propagation quality is better forward messages of neighboring devices. The radio resource reduction contributes to reducing power consumed by a battery-operated BS.
