An Efficient Opportunistic Routing Protocol for ICN

Opportunistic routing protocols, such as delay tolerant networks (DTN), can be used to enable information centric networking (ICN) in disaster environments. Existing approaches using DTN for ICN suffers from message overhead due to the mobility of sparsely populated mobile nodes and overall performance degradation. We therefore propose an efficient opportunistic routing protocol for ICN to reduce message overhead and improve delivery probability, too. Performance evaluation results thorough simulation show that the proposed protocol has better delivery probability and overhead ratio than conventional protocol.
