Title
Buffer dimensioning of delay-tolerant network nodes - a large deviations approach
Abstract
Buffer dimensioning of nodes is essential to design a practical and efficient Delay-Tolerant Network (DTN). The existing literature on DTN assumes either infinite or finite (arbitrary) buffer size of the nodes in the system model; however, it does not quantify the buffer size. In this paper, we propose a large deviations framework to quantify the buffer size of DTN nodes moving according to Random WayPoint (RWP) mobility model and investigate the effect of buffer size in terms of its impact on the performance of underlying message forwarding protocol. Our extensive simulation results show that the performance of the proposed dimensioned buffer model is statistically equivalent to that of the infinite buffer model.
