C.; FARAHMAND, Farid - Impact analysis of the shortest path movement model on routing strategies for VDTNs in a rural region. In Conference on Telecommunications, 7, Santa Maria da Feira, 3-5 Maio 2009.CONFTELE 2009. Aveiro: Instituto de Telecomunicações, 2009978-972-98368-8-6http://hdl.handle.net/10400.11/560Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Network (VDTN) appears as a particular application of the Delay-Tolerant Network (DTN) concept to transit networks. In this paper we analyze the use of a VDTN to provide asynchronous Internet access on a rural remote region scenario. Through simulation we evaluate the impact of a shortest path based movement model on the performance of four DTN routing protocols in respect to message delivery probability and message average delay.engVehicular delay-tolerant networkAsynchronous internet accessRural remote regionjournal article
