In opportunistic networks, a successful message transmission between node pairs depends
on the message size, the transmission speed and the connection duration time. This paper …

Delay and disruption tolerant networks (DTNs) adopt the store-carry-and-forward paradigm.
Each node stores messages in a buffer storage and waits for either an appropriate …

Especially in rural areas, a high-speed but high-cost data communication infrastructure is
