Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are mobile wireless networks that are designed to work in highly-challenged environments where the density of nodes is insufficient to support direct end-to-end communication. Recent efforts in DTNs have shown that mobility provides a porful means for delivering messages in such highly-challenging environments. Unfortunately, many mobility scenarios depend on untethered devices with limited energy supplies. Without careful management, depleted energy supplies will degrade network connectivity and counteract the robustness gained by mobility. A primary concern is the energy consumed by wireless communications because the wireless interface is one of the largest energy consumers in mobile devices whether they are actively communicating or just listening. Hover, mobile devices exhibit a tension beten saving energy and providing connectivity through opportunistic encounters. In order to pass messages, the device must discover communication opportunities with other nodes. At the same time, energy can be conserved by "sleeping," i.e., turning off or disabling the wireless interfaces. Hover, if the wireless interface is asleep, the node cannot discover other nodes for communication. Thus, por management in DTNs must balance the discovery of other nodes while aggressively sleeping the radio during the remaining periods. #R##N#In this thesis,  first develop a por management framework for a single radio architecture that allows a node to save energy while discovering communication opportunities. The framework is tailored to the available knowledge about network connectivity over time. Further, the framework supports explicit trade-offs beten energy savings and connectivity, so network operators can choose, for example, to conserve energy at the cost of reduced message delivery performance.  next examine the possibility of using a hierarchical radio architecture in which nodes are equipped with two complementary radios: a long-range, high-por radio and a short-range, low-por radio. In this architecture, energy can be conserved by using the low-por radio to discover communication opportunities with other nodes and waking the high-por radio to undertake the data transmission. Hover, the short range of the low-por radio may result in missing communication opportunities. Thus,  develop a generalized por management framework in which both radios support the discovery. In addition,  incorporate the knowledge of traffic load and network dynamics and devise approximation algorithms to control the sleep/wake-up cycling of the radios to provide maximum energy conservation while discovering enough communication opportunities to handle the expected traffic load. Finally,  investigate the Message Ferrying (MF) routing paradigm as a means to save energy while trading off data delivery delay. In MF, special nodes called ferries move around the deployment area to deliver messages for nodes. While this routing paradigm has been developed mainly to deliver messages in partitioned networks, here  explore its use in a connected MANET. The reliance on the movement of the ferries to deliver messages increases the delivery delay if a network is not partitioned. Hover, delegating message delivery to the ferries provides the opportunity for nodes to save energy by aggressively putting their radios to sleep when ferries are far away. To exploit this feature,  present a por management framework, in which nodes switch their por management modes based on the knowledge of ferry location.
