Location-assistant content distribution scheme for emergency rescue by Guomin Zhang, Lihua Song, Haitao Wang, Chao Hu, Na Wang

“…Since location-assistant content distribution scheme can predict the overlap of activity between rescue teams through the course of action, not only can the number of copy forwarding and message delivery delays be significantly reduced but also the priority delivery of important messages can be ensured by message classification. Simulation experiments show that compared with the traditional delay tolerant network routing algorithm and the classic first-in-first-out caching strategy, location-assistant content distribution scheme improves the performance of message delivery rate, transmission delay, and control overhead significantly.…”
