Implementations of data triage methods for DTN based disaster information networks

Abstract

It is necessary to concern the deficient network resources if there happened to be a severe disaster, and the DTN is widely known as the suitable network routing methods for such a robust network conditions. On the contrary, the DTN has pointed out the subjects of low date delivery rate and the high latency for the uses. Therefore, this paper proposed the enhanced DTN routing methods based on the Data Triage, the Dynamic FEC controls, and the antenna directional controls. Also, it is reported the implementations of the Data Triage methods in the prototype system, and the experimental results are used for the effectiveness of the proposed methods and the future studies.
