Future space exploration demands a Space Network that will be able to connect spacecrafts
with one another and in turn with Earth's terrestrial Internet and hence efficiently transfer …

Abstract Opportunistic Mobile Networks (OMNs), also known as Delay Tolerant Networks
(DTNs), refer to wireless networks in which the mobile nodes (eg, smartphones, tablets …

We review the rationale behind the current design of the Delay/Disruption Tolerant
Networking (DTN) Architecture and highlight some remaining open issues. Its evolution …

Satellite communications are characterized by long delays, packet losses, and sometimes
intermittent connectivity and link disruptions. The TCP/IP stack is ineffective against these …

The standardization of the IP protocol and its mapping into network-specific link-layer data
frames at each router as required supports interoperability using a packet-switched model of …

Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) provide a promising solution to support wide-ranging
applications in the regions where end-to-end network connectivity is not available. In DTNs …

The authors give an overview of current work on delay-and disruption-tolerant networking
and review the overall architecture proposed by the Internet Research Task Force's Delay …

Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) are an emerging and promising technology that
enables vehicles to communicate with roadside units (RSUs) and other vehicles. VANETs …

Interplanetary communication networks comprise orbiters, deep-space relays, and stations
on planetary surfaces. These networks must overcome node mobility, constrained …

As a new networking paradigm, opportunistic networking communications have great vision
in animal migration tracking, mobile social networking, network communications in remote …
