We consider an intelligent transportation system where a given number of infrastructured
nodes (called Dissemination Points, DPs) have to be deployed for disseminating information …

Inter-contact time between moving vehicles is one of the key metrics in vehicular ad hoc
networks (VANETs) and central to forwarding algorithms and the end-to-end delay. Due to …

When Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) is used in commercial environments, incentive
mechanism should be employed to encourage cooperation among selfish mobile users. Key …

Networking for challenged environments, or Delay-and Disruption-Tolerant Networking as it
is now most commonly referred to, has attracted great attention in the past few years by the …

Beyond the initial focus on vehicular safety application, there is considerable scope for the
development of other information-rich applications, which can provide convenience and …

The goal of this paper is to increase our understanding of the fundamental performance
limits of mobile and Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), where end-to-end multihop paths may …

Drive-thru Internet systems are multiple-access wireless networks in which users in moving
vehicles can connect to a roadside access point (AP) to obtain Internet connectivity for some …

Intercontact time between moving vehicles is one of the key metrics in vehicular ad hoc
networks (VANETs) and central to forwarding algorithms and the end-to-end delay. Due to …

Delay/disruption-tolerant networking (DTN) technology offers a new solution to highly
stressed communications in space environments, especially those with long link delay and …

The widespread availability of mobile wireless devices offers growing opportunities for the
formation of temporary networks with only intermittent connectivity. These intermittently …
