Grouping clusters to minimize the total mean delivery delay of bundles in ferry-assisted DTNs

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Communication among isolated networks (clusters) in delay tolerant
networks (DTNs) can be supported by a message ferry, which collects
bundles from clusters and delivers them to a sink node. When there
are lots of distant static clusters, multiple message ferries and
sink nodes will be required. In this paper, we aim to make groups
each of which consists of physically close clusters, a sink node, and
a message ferry. Our main objective is minimizing the overall mean
delivery delay of bundles in consideration of both offered load of
clusters and distance between clusters and their sink nodes. We first
model this problem as a nonlinear integer programming, based on the
knowledge obtained in our previous work. Because it might be hard to
solve this problem directly, we take two-step optimization approach
based on linear integer programming, which yields an approximate
solution of the problem. Through numerical results, we show the
two-step optimization approach works well.
