Abstract

This paper presents a novel based-knowledge dynamic routing model with rate allocation for delay-tolerant networks (DTNs). The objectives are how to embody knowledge about destination offered by joint nodes and how to apply knowledge about destination to transfer data when the instantaneous end-to-end paths do not exist in DTNs. The first problem is addressed through a rate allocation model. For rate allocation, taking into account the dynamic feature of rate control as well as the selfish nature of joint nodes, we design a non-cooperative differential game model to offer efficient rate allocation scheme with the constraint of limited bandwidth, and obtain a feedback Nash equilibrium solution of the game. In this study, knowledge is valued information and provides advisable solutions to problems. For the second problem, assuming that the obtained value function in rate allocation model is the available knowledge about destination of joint node; with this assumption, a polynomial time routing algorithm is proposed to describe the procedure of the routing model.
