Abstract

Data transmission in delay tolerant networks (DTNs) is a challenging problem due to the lack of continuous network connectivity and nondeterministic mobility of the nodes. Epidemic routing and spray-and-wait methods are two popular mechanisms that are proposed for DTNs. In order to reduce the transmission delay in DTNs, some previous works combine intraflow network coding with the routing protocols. In this paper, we propose two routing mechanisms using systematic joint interand intra-flow network coding for the purpose of data exchange between the nodes. We discuss the reasons why inter-flow network coding helps to reduce the delivery delay of the packets, and we also analyze the delays related with only using intra-flow coding, and joint inter-and intra-flow coding methods. We empirically show the benefit of joint coding over just intra-flow coding. Based on our simulation, joint coding can reduce the delay up to 40%, compared to only intra-flow coding.
