Research and simulation on Levy flight model for DTN

Levy Flight is a special kind of random walk model. According to the past studies, the foraging patterns of animals follow a Levy flight distribution. Delay and disruption Tolerant Network(DTN) is a special network adapted to a special restricted network communication environment. In this paper, we proposed a new DTN model: BirdNet, which is based on fast-moving sensor nodes installed on the birds. After establishing the network model, we complete the simulations and analyses.
