Abstract
In opportunistic network with node clusters, it is usually necessary to set up ferry nodes to connect each cluster to achieve the overall connectivity of the network, and the movement pattern of ferry nodes has an important impact on the overall performance of the network. The existing opportunistic network routing algorithms based on ferry nodes suffer from insufficient resource utilization and inefficient collaboration among multiple nodes in resource optimization and collaborative work, which often leads to low overall network delivery probability and high network load. Therefore, this paper proposes a cooperative routing algorithm for multiple ferry nodes based on active motion mode (ORABAC), in which ferry nodes actively realize the planning of motion paths according to their states and network message forwarding requirements, while multiple ferry nodes in the network realize cooperative work. Simulation results show that the proposed routing algorithm achieves higher delivery probability and less delivery latency while reducing the energy consumption of ferry nodes and restraining network overhead.
