Framework for analysing of inter-cluster communication in the DRHT by using game theory

Published:25 October 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this work we analyse the inter-clusters communication in DTN routing hierarchical topology (DRHT). In DRHT, the cluster head (CH) use ferries to transmit data till the final destinations under an intermittent connectivity. However, the ferries are not always available to assist the data transmission; that is due to the limited energy or the low storage capacity. We address this problem by adopting as a reference a non-cooperative game. Furthermore, the cluster head offers a positive reward to the ferries if they accept to transmit data successfully to a target destination. In addition, the ferries in the DRHT can either participate to transmit data or not participate, depending on the reward value and the expected energy consumption of this operation.
