An Integrated Message Suppression Controller with Epidemic and MaxProp Protocols: Performance Evaluation for VDTNs

Delay/Disruption/Disconnection Tolerant Networking (DTN) has the potential to interconnect vehicles for inter-vehicle communications. In our previous work, we evaluated the performance of our proposed message suppression controller considering priority for inter-vehicle communications. In this paper, we integrate the Enhanced Message Suppression Controller (EMSC) with Epidemic and MaxProp protocols and present the performance evaluation for Vehicular DTN (VDTN). We develop a simulation platform based on Scenargie network simulator considering IEEE 802.11p. From the simulation results, we found that our integrated EMSCs decreases the storage usages.
