Quality-of-protection-driven data forwarding for intermittently connected wireless networks

The data delivery in ICWN is accomplished in a collaborative manner, and non-cooperative behavior will gravely impair network QoP and user QoE. To select reliable relay nodes for data transmission, a trust-status-aware data forwarding strategy is proposed in this article. By exploiting locally recorded forwarding behavior information, process-based and relationship-based credibility can be precise...
