Abstract

A Mobile Social Network MSN is defined as a mobile network that uses social relationships to determine node communication. Many wireless networks including ad hoc networks do not reflect a real world deployment because of routing implementation difficulties. However, with the enormous use of Social Network Sites SNSs including Twitter and Facebook, MSNs can be exploited to make routing easier. Although there has been some research effort devoted to routing using these networks, the MSN routing protocols proposed in the literature suffer from either a low delivery ratio or high memory requirements. This paper presents a new routing protocol status for MSNs which has excellent performance in terms of delivery ratio and memory requirements. It employs the online status of a node to make forwarding decisions. Status has a low overhead ratio, low average delay and low computational complexity at the node level.
