A variety of applications and forwarding protocols have been proposed for opportunistic
networks (OppNets) in the literature. However, the methodology of evaluation, testing and …

Mobile opportunistic networks provide an efficient solution to implement the intensive
perception and ubiquitous interconnection in Internet of Things. Routing selection is one of …

In this paper, we predict nodes' social contact patterns from the temporal perspective, and
propose a novel approach to improve the performance of data forwarding in opportunistic …

Pervasive computing applications commonly involve user's personal smartphones collecting
data to influence application behavior. Applications are often backed by models that learn …

In opportunistic networks, the nature of intermittent and disruptive connections degrades the
efficiency of routing. Epidemic routing protocol is used as a benchmark for most of routing …

Offloading cellular traffic through Opportunistic Mobile Networks, also known as
opportunistic offloading has been proposed as a promising way to relieve the overload of …

Opportunistic networks aim to deal with the unpredictable environment for data
communication. Messages in opportunistic networks need to be stored with the node in the …

How to measure the centrality of nodes is a significant problem in mobile social networks
(MSNs). Current studies in MSNs mainly focus on measuring the centrality of nodes in a …

Abstract Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) are becoming an emerging technology offering its
users many advantages in terms of cost and ease of use especially with the emergence of …

Delay-tolerant networking (DTN) is considered one of the most suitable technologies to
handle challenging space-vehicle communications. Routing is critical in the DTN …
