An Optimized Message Routing Approach inspired by the Landlord’s game in Disruption-tolerant Networks

we propose a method to forward messages inspired by the Landlord’s game in such a way that leads to more collaboration between selfish nodes. In our proposed method, each node joins one of the coalitions. In each coalition, the sender and receiver nodes play the role of landlord and worker, respectively. Both landlord and worker, upon relaying a message, receive reputation. In this way, both parties have a motivation to participate in forwarding operations. The simulation of the proposed algorithm was done using the ONE simulator.

我们提出了一种受斗地主博弈（Landlord’s Game）启发的消息转发方法，以促进自私节点间更充分的协同协作。在所提方法中，每个节点均会加入一个联盟；在每个联盟内，发送节点与接收节点将分别扮演地主与工人的角色。无论是地主还是工人，在转发消息后均可获得声誉。通过此种机制，双方均拥有参与转发操作的动机。本研究所提算法的仿真实验均通过ONE模拟器（ONE Simulator）完成。
