Abstract

We propose Multi-Spreader Routing, a store-carry-forward routing scheme for sparsely populated mobile ad hoc networks. Multi-Spreader Routing includes Epidemic Routing and Two-Hop Forwarding as special cases, and it can manage trade-off between message delivery delay and resource consumption effectively. We analyze various performance measures of Multi-Spreader Routing with a recovery scheme called VACCINE, and we evaluate its performance. Further, through simulation experiments with real mobility trace data, we demonstrate that Multi-Spreader Routing shows stable performance in various network environments.
