Delay-tolerant network (DTN) has been employed as a viable option for exchanging situational information during post-disaster communication. In contrast to stable network, reliability in DTN depends on the contact opportunities among nodes (both mobile and static). Higher degree of opportunity implies improved message delivery with reduced latency, which results enhanced reliability. order improve deployment static relay (Throwboxes) widely adopted. deploy Throwboxes effectively, prior knowledge regarding parameters like scale topology mobility pattern etc. is essential. However, availability such post disaster scenarios becomes challenging. Therefore, this work, we propose an encounter based Throwbox strategy EnTER. The proposed attempts formulate empirical relationship between extent DTN. measured terms Knowledge Sharing Ratio Average Delivery Latency. This helps formulating suitable deploying scenario. Extensive simulation by implementing realistic scenario reveals that our outperforms one state-of-the-art strategies
