Social wireless and mobile networks have received more attentions over the recent years. Previously, we proposed the Social Relation Opportunistic Routing (SROR) algorithm for mobile social networks, and introduced the social relations and profiles among nodes as the key metrics to compute the optimal forwarding node in routing such that the packet delivery probability is maximized. In this paper, we aim to extend the performance evaluation of the algorithm by considering the packet delivery probability and the algorithm efficiency metrics to assess the effectiveness of our proposed SROR protocol. Given the dynamic social environments, the results outperform the existing Social Pressure Method algorithm as well as the benchmark algorithms, namely Prophet, SimBet, and Fresh, targeting a similar scenario. The results further verify the validity of our SROR algorithm under a delay tolerant environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
