Impact of Trace-Based Mobility Models on the Energy Consumption of Delay-Tolerant Routing Protocols

In Delay-Tolerant Network (DTN), nodes’ energy consumption depends highly on their movement pattern since energy-constrained nodes move in a “Store-Carry-and Forward” paradigm for data communication. Energy must be expensed efficiently, selecting a suitable mobility model for successfully delivering messages in DTN. Mobility models are generally two types: one is synthetic mobility, and the other ...
