Abstract:

Intermittently connected mobile networks are wireless networks, where, often, there is no complete path between the source and destination nodes and, the network is considered as a set of disconnected groups. This definition is related to Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN). Thus, several studies have been performed to design routing protocols that consider substantially delay tolerance constraint. In this paper, we investigate the projection of spray and wait routing protocol, which is dedicated to DTNs environments, in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The obtained results from the intensive performance evaluation of our proposal prove obviously the efficiency of spray and wait protocol in WSNs.
