Disruption/Delay Tolerant Network(DTN) is a technology for interconnecting partitioned networks. These days, DTN, especially routing in DTN, draws significant attention from the networking community. In this paper, we investigate DTN routing strategies for highly partitioned ad hoc networks where Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) perform store-carry-forward functionality for improved network connectivity. Also we investigate UAV trajectory control mechanisms via simulation studies.

Delay and Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) employs message delivery based on a store-and-forward method to conquer no guarantee of continuous end-to-end connectivity. Different from general networks, it is hard for the existing TCP/IP-based routing protocols to correctly work, due to the characteristics such as large latency and unstable link connectivity. Thus, many recent studies focus on routing protocols for DTN. In this paper, we propose a novel routing protocol for DTN with efficient message delivery utilizing mobility information such as direction or destination of mobile nodes. And this protocol is enhanced in terms of delivery ratio, decreases latency and overhead compared to the previously proposed solutions. Simulation results prove its superiority.

Sensor networks and car networks that have different structure from that of conventional TCP/IP network require extreme network environment due to frequent change of connectivity. Because such extreme network environment has characteristics like unreliable link connectivity, long delay time, asymmetrical data transfer rate, and high error rate, etc., it is difficult to perform normally with the conventional TCP/P-based routing. DTNs (delay and disruption tolerant network) was designed to support data transfer in extreme network environment with long delay time and no guarantee for continuous connectivity between terminals. This study suggests an algorithm that limits the maximum number of copying transferred message to L by improving the spray and wait routing protocol, which is one of the conventional DTNs routing protocols, and using the azimuth and density data of the mobile nods. The suggested algorithm was examined by using ONE, a DTNs simulator. As a result, it could reduce the delay time and overhead of unnecessary packets compared to the conventional spray and wait routing protocol.

In traditional message ferrying schemes, only ferries carry messages between partitioned networks. In this paper, we propose a new approach to make both ferries and mobile nodes carry messages so that we reduce message delivery delay in disruption tolerant networks. We evaluate our scheme against conventional message ferrying in terms of message delivery delay, throughput, ferry buffer usage and mobile nodes buffer usage.

This paper introduces an effective and convenient method for utilizing onboard memory space to process remote commands, telemetry, and interplanetary network protocol data in satellite onboard systems. By enhancing the doubly linked list data structure to store and make accessible variable-length communication protocol data either sequentially or at variable locations, the paper enhances memory capacity utilization. The concept of 'grape' is introduced into the doubly linked list data structure to manage variable-length data and its access, with performance verification conducted through its reference implementation. This novel approach to linked lists is termed 'grape.'
