Abstract
Provided is a node probing method using an adaptive and asynchronous rendezvous protocol in an opportunistic network. The node probing method includes: selecting, by each of nodes in the opportunistic network, a prime number larger than two; using, by the node, the selected prime number to generate a wake-up pattern according to the following equation:where Xn=1 represents a wake-up slot, Xn=0 represents a sleeping slot, and ‘mod p’ represents a modulo operation for the prime number p); and searching, by the node, for a neighbor node according to the generated wake-up pattern.
