There has been surging research interest in utilizing mobile phones for information relaying
in postdisaster areas lacking infrastructure support. A common complication for such …

Message delivery in sparse mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is difficult due to the fact that
the network graph is rarely (if ever) connected. A key challenge is to find a route that can …

In the event of a disaster, the communication infrastructure can be partially or totally
destroyed, or rendered unavailable due to high congestion. However, during such crisis …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been widely used for information distribution tasks.
The radio communication channels that are established dynamically between the different …

In the aftermath of disasters, access to communication infrastructure is often impaired or fully
unavailable. Smartphone-based ad hoc networks can be utilized to re-enable basic …

To facilitate reliable communications, efficacious signaling is of crucial importance for
information dissemination control, especially in dynamic and infrastructureless networking …

This paper is motivated by the observation that traditional ad hoc routing protocols are not
an adequate solution for messaging applications (eg, e-mail) in mobile ad hoc networks …

Disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) have emerged as a paradigm shift for environments that
may not have a continuous network connection. Although DTNs were originally designed for …

In order to understand the message dissemination performance in delay-tolerant networks,
much analysis work has been proposed in literature. However, existing work shares a …

Broadcasting is an essential and effective data propagation mechanism, with several of
important applications such as route discovery, address resolution, as well as many other …
