Study of Ferry Routing Scheme Based on Multi-Constraint

On the basis of Message Ferrying approach (MFR), this paper proposes a Ferry routing scheme for remote village networks called multi-constraint Ferry routing (MCFR). The routing scheme makes full use of the packet's information carried in Ferry and the information of the node location to calculate the evaluation value from Ferry to each node. The next hop of the Ferry is designated by the maximum evaluation value. Simulation results show that the proposed MCFR scheme is better than the MFR because it has a higher delivery ratio and a lower end-to-end delay.
