SPF-ECP: Self-Organized, Predictive, and Fast Adaptive: Enhanced Clustering Protocol for DTMN Routing G. Arun Sampaul Thomas 1 • J. Veerappan 2 Ó Springer Science+Business Media New York 2016 Abstract One type of computer networks which are deficient due to its discontinuous character of network partitioning is a Delay Tolerant Mobile Network. DTMN issues are how to stabilize, maintain, and update currently presents mobile nodes to accomplish improved routing of packets making sure there is no loss in the packet. Issues of DTMN addressed by defining the basic idea of SPF-ECP based clustering scheme for DTMN with a high degree of mobility nodes, where a node may modify the allied cluster head numerous times during its connection period. The proposed clustering scheme consists of clustering at its initial stages. The cluster groups the mobile nodes together. The mobile nodes are grouped with comparable clustering in the mobility pattern into a clustering group beforehand a packet is being routed. In addition, an adaptive scheme also used to control prediction by examining the performance tradeoff between limiting prediction cost and reducing communication cost, with an algorithm to enable or disable prediction operations. A node with higher contact probability becomes a member than the preset threshold node. ‘Hello packets’ inclusion used to crisscross the node presence position. Performance analysis shows the best possible route and adaptive route in order to reach the destination with the greatest delivery rate.
