Abstract
In this letter, we propose an analytical model based
on delay differential equations (DDEs) to evaluate the diffusion
of messages in groups taking into account the transmission time of
themessages. This model was validated through simulation studies
using the ONE simulator. Evaluation results show that, considering
the impact of data transfer time is of utmost importance, as
when message size increases (for example, when transmitting short
videos), the diffusion is bounded by this transmission time, and the
result is that the diffusion time increases slightly when the number
of nodes increases (as opposed to the always decreasing diffusion
time of the epidemic diffusion with no delay).
