Opportunistic Routing (OR) is a new paradigm that has been investigated as a new way to
improve the performance of multihop wireless networks by exploiting the broadcast nature of …

Like any communication networks, Wireless ad hoc networks (WANETs) require routing to
support many applications such as data aggregation and over-the-air firmware update …

This thesis presents a framework for investigating opportunistic routing in Delay Tolerant
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (DTMANETs), and introduces the concept of an Opportunistic …

The unique anywhere, anytime wireless communication support offers, tremendous potential
for the next generation of applications in a Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET). The Quality of …

Recently, opportunistic routing has received much attention as a new design direction. It can
exploit the wireless broadcast and more highly reliable opportunistic forwarding, so as to …

This paper proposes an ant-inspred backoff-based opportunistic routing protocol which
optimizes the forwarding area based on the concept of ant colony optimization. In the …

While opportunistic packet forwarding has been extensively studied in the case of single hop
communication, only recently has opportunistic forwarding for multihop networks been …

Opportunistic routing has recently been proposed to take advantage of the broadcast nature
and spatial diversity of the wireless medium and cope with unreliable transmissions. Within …

Most of the existing research work in mobile ad hoc networking is based on the assumption
that a path exists between the sender and the receiver. On the other hand, applications of …

In delay-tolerant mobile ad hoc networks, motion of network nodes, network sparsity and
sporadic density can cause a lack of guaranteed connectivity. These networks experience …
