摘要：Opportunistic data forwarding draws more and more attention in the research community ofwireless network. However, as far as we know, all existing opportunistic data forwarding only use the nodes whichare included in the forwarder list in the entire forwarding progress. In fact, even if a node is not a listed forwarderin the forwarder list, but it is on the direction from source node to destination node, and when it successfullyoverhears some packets by opportunity, the node actually can be utilized in the opportunistic data forwardingprogress. In this paper, we propose the proactive source routing protocol for opportunistic data forwarding inmobile ad-hoc networks. In general, three contributions we have in this paper, 1) we allow each and everyintermediate node to update path to a destination in the packet header. 2) we open more node to participate in theopportunistic data forwarding even though the nodes are not included in the forwarder list, 3) we propose theprocedure to select the best local relay node, namely the helper-node, from many candidates but require no innercommunication between them. Here, the source node sends the data packet with variable batch sizes which mayimprove the packet delivery ratio in MANET.
