Abstract: Mobile ad hoc networks are the wireless networks in which there is no fixed route from source to destination because of dynamic topology. One of such networks is an intermittently connected mobile network. In this network, the conventional routing algorithms like AODV fails as they develop an end-to-end path form source to destination. Generally, we may go with spreading type of flood-based routing methods for this type of network. We are suffering with a lot of disturbances with these routings and they deliver the packet with high probability due to wastage of energy. In turn, performance of the network goes down. In this paper, we proposed an efficient way of routing by a spray and focus algorithm in order to improve the overall performance by reducing the delays for message transmission.

Keywords: ad hoc networks; delay tolerant networks; intermittent connectivity.
