Abstract :
Access to information and digital services
on the go has grown with the proliferation of mobile
devices and various types of wireless networks. This trend
brings an opportunity for individuals to access digital
content, share resources, and communicate anywhere
anytime facilities. However, the connectivity coverage
rate did not go hand in hand with the trends of mobile
phone penetration rate, and there is connectivity coverage
disparity among developed countries and developing
ones. This motivates that infrastructure-less networks
such as Delay Tolerant Networks(DTNs ) to play an
alternative communication approach and to be leveraged
in different application scenarios.
The characteristics of this kind of networks (i.e.,
intermittent connectivity and transient end to end path)
create a challenging problem in routing data. For
example, to deliver a given message towards destination
node/groups of nodes, the routing scheme uses a storecarry- forward and utilizes different heuristics to select a
potential forwarder node/intermediate node. This survey
paper mainly focuses on presenting insights about recent
trends in routing approaches in Delay Tolerant Social
Network, and the performance of routing issues.It also
provides a comprehensive overview of routing protocols
in Delay Tolerant Social Network and examines the
various routing taxonomies, and potential application use
cases where DTSN suitable.
