Performance Analysis on Direct Transmission Scheme under RWP Mobility Model in DTMSNs

The Delay Tolerant Mobile Sensor Network (DTMSN) is a new type of sensor network for pervasive information acquisition, mainly motivated by the Delay-Tolerant Network (DTN) and its applications. Direct transmission is one of the basic schemes for data delivery with low complexity and less transmission overhead, which is considered to be suitable for DTMSN applications. In this paper, we inspect the scheme and examine the network performance under Random Waypoint (RWP) mobility model. Extensive simulations are carried out, and several factors affecting network performance are summarized based on simulation results.
