Abstract

             scheme is a scheme to restore a  from partitioning. Despite of effectiveness, it suffers from long delay caused by the poor design of ferry route. The  problem has been studied to minimize this drawback of MF schemes. In this paper, we argue that an adaptive way of constructing the ferry route would be more practical and effective. We thus define the  problem with more general and realistic assumptions, and propose a new scheme for adaptive message ferrying. The proposed scheme adopts the  rule for the , to construct ferry routes and is referred to as . From simulations, we show that AMFeR can shorten the average message delay. With its simplicity and distributed nature, AMFeR is a suitable solution for partition restoration of MANETs.
