In this paper, we introduce novel motion-based routing protocols for opportunistic packet
relay in ad-hoc opportunistic networks. Unlike existing ad-hoc routing protocols, which …

In wireless networks, packets transmitted from a source can potentially reach a number of
nodes, some of which may be subsequently used as forwarders for delivering the packets to …

Most ad hoc network routing algorithms are designed primarily for networks that are always
connected. While it is certainly desirable to maintain a connected network, various …

Opportunistic routing protocol is proposed for broadcast and lossy characteristics existing in
wireless multi-hop networks. Compared with traditional routing protocols, opportunistic …

Unlike traditional wireless routing protocols which use a single fixed path, opportunistic
routing explicitly takes advantage of the broadcast nature of wireless communications by …

Wireless channels have a broadcast nature based on which opportunistic routing protocols
work. In opportunistic routing protocols, packets are forwarded by the intermediate nodes …

In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have gained popularity in various
applications and services in both the military and civilian domains. Compared with the single …

This paper addresses the problem of delivering data packets for highly dynamic mobile ad
hoc networks in a reliable and timely manner. Most existing ad hoc routing protocols are …

Opportunistic routing (OR) is a promising paradigm that has been proposed for wireless
mesh networks. This routing paradigm takes advantage of the broadcast nature of the …

Compared with traditional mobile Ad hoc networks (MANET) and vehicular Ad hoc networks
(VANET), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks have two unique characteristics. First …
