Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the effect of using directional antennas on the performance of classical SIRS epidemic dynamics for broadcasting in DTNs using a realistic mobility model (Self-similar Least Action Walk). It is shown that the use of even a small number of agents with directional antenna can give significantly better broadcasting performance in practice than using only omnidirectional antennas in most cases. We also investigate the effect of different antenna and mobility parameters on the performance.
