ABSTRACT

Mobile social networks which use social characteristics of mobile nodes to deliver messages are a type of Delay Tolerant Networks. SimBet protocol can be used in MSNs. The two characteristics and their combined effection SimBet metric in the SimBet protocol are carfully studied. The similarity metric indicates how many common nodes are shared by two nodes. The betweenness metric indicates the role a node takes in the paths to other nodes in the topology. Different scenarios with diverse adjustive value of parameters are simulated with MATLAB. The performance shows that SimBet protocol has good performance for Mobile Social Networks.
