Abstract EN
Ubiquitous use of cell phones encourages development of novel applications with sensors embedded in cell phones.
The collection of information generated by these devices is a challenging task considering volatile topologies and energy-based scarce resources.
Further, the data delivery to the sink is delay tolerant.
Mobility of cell phones is opportunistically exploited for forwarding sensor generated data towards the sink.
Human mobility model shows truncated power law distribution of flight length, pause time, and intercontact time.
The power law behavior of inter-contact time often discourages routing of data using naive forwarding schemes.
This work exploits the flight length and the pause time distributions of human mobility to design a better and efficient routing strategy.
We propose a Human-Mobility-based Sensor Context-Aware Routing protocol (HMSCAR), which exploits human mobility patterns to smartly forward data towards the sink basically comprised of wi-fi hot spots or cellular base stations.
The simulation results show that HMSCAR significantly outperforms the SCAR, SFR, and GRAD-MOB on the aspects of delivery ratio and time delay.
A multi-sink scenario and single-copy replication scheme is assumed.
