MeNDARIN: Mobile Education Network Using DTN Approach in North IRAQ

Developing countries suffer from a lack of fixed and reliable infrastructure resulting in lack of Internet connectivity, particularly in the rural areas. In this paper we have addressed the challenge of providing the free education to millions of illiterate children living in remote hamlets of poverty stricken villages in the north of Iraq. The basic fundamental right of humanity is education, so different organization cooperates with governments to deliver the education for everyone in world that would lead to literacy for all. We hope that proposed work would help children in different place(s) of the world to get education especially in places where the communication service is not available either due to the environmental factors like the poor connectivity due to fading or attenuation or poor topographical terrain like in hilly area. In order to overcome these obstacles a DTN based education system is proposed which consumes less resource but delivers high throughput. This mobile based efficient education system comes with new approach of delay tolerant network that possess the capability to operate in different environments. Our proposed Mobile Education System adopts a new protocol LTPCL "The Licklider Transmission Protocol convergence layer" that operate with DTN approach to solve education problems implemented by MANET in earlier time. When the internet cannot operate in heterogeneous environments, Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) is promising network architecture for heterogeneous Environments if any disconnection occurring between the source and the destination the in-between nodes cannot store the packet and forward it after reconnecting. The DTN approach can provide the (store-carry-forward) network because in DTN approaches there are nodes which have memory buffer.
