Considering the characteristic of the constrained energy and storage resources of sensors, we propose a novel two-phase multi-replica routing for DTMSN, called Energy-Aware Sociality-Based Spray and Search Routing (ESR), which implements the quota-style message replication mechanism by utilizing the energy and speed information of sensors. In addition, based on the difference of history encounters, a sociality metric is defined to improve the forwarding efficiency in search phase.
