Abstract EN
In opportunistic networks, the nature of intermittent and disruptive connections degrades the efficiency of routing.
Epidemic routing protocol is used as a benchmark for most of routing protocols in opportunistic mobile social networks (OMSNs) due to its high message delivery and latency.
However, Epidemic incurs high cost in terms of overhead and hop count.
In this paper, we propose a hybrid routing protocol called EpSoc which utilizes the Epidemic routing forwarding strategy and exploits an important social feature, that is, degree centrality.
Two techniques are used in EpSoc.
Messages’ TTL is adjusted based on the degree centrality of nodes, and the message blocking mechanism is used to control replication.
Simulation results show that EpSoc increases the delivery ratio and decreases the overhead ratio, the average latency, and the hop counts as compared to Epidemic and Bubble Rap.
