A joint data transmission and queue management for emergency application in delay-tolerant mobile sensor networks

A joint data transmission and queue management is proposed for emergency application in delay-tolerant mobile sensor networks DT-MSNs. Based on AHP method, data queue can be prioritised in an organised way via structuring hierarchy, comparing weight metrics and then making decision. With the joint transfers of control and initiate data it can achieve fast response to emergency and deal with the urgent case timely. Evaluation results show that the proposal outperforms the conventional schemes with more effective data management and lower transmission delay for urgent data.
