摘要: 延迟容忍网络节点之间的连接模式可以用Edge-Markovian模型描述,该模型优于传统的负指数模型。该文基于Edge-Markovian模型研究有限能量约束下two-hop算法的最优控制问题。为了降低能量消耗,采用概率two-hop算法,信息源在每个通信机会以一定概率决定是否发送信息,问题转化为选择合适的概率在满足能量约束的前提下最大化传输成功率。利用离散时间Markov过程对问题进行建模,并从理论上证明最优概率是阈值形式。仿真及数值结果证明了模型的有效性。Abstract: Connectivity patterns in delay tolerant networks can be modeled as Edge-Markovian graph and this model is better than traditional negative exponential model. In this paper, the optimal control problem of two-hop routing algorithm is explored with energy constraint under the Edge-Markovian graph. Considering that the source forwards the message with certain probability and the probabilistic two-hop routing method is used to decrease the energy consumption, the problem turns into the finding of the optimal probability to maximize the delivery ratio with energy constraint. Thus, a theoretical model for the problem is proposed based on the discrete time Markov process. We further prove that the optimal forwarding probability conforms to the threshold form. Simulation and numerical results show the correctness of the theoretical model.
