Abstract
In order to efficiently transmit data packets, this paper proposes a method known as GT-EMFT for game-theoretic efficient message forwarding in opportunistic networks. In this protocol, the optimal approach for choosing the next hop depends on a cooperative game between two players which frame the game by taking into account the context information, channel interference, meeting likelihood, and successful delivery of the related node from the destination. Using the Opportunistic Network Environment Simulator, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol GT-EMFT outperforms the benchmark protocols Epidemic and GTEER in terms of average latency, delivery ratio, and average residual energy.
