The communication in quarantined areas, eg, due to the new COVID-19 pandemic, between
isolated areas and in areas with technical damage has resulted in a great deal of interest …

Offloading traffic through opportunistic communications has been recently proposed as a
way to relieve the current overload of cellular networks. Opportunistic communication can …

The delay tolerant networking paradigm aims to enable communications in disconnected
environments where traditional protocols would fail. Opportunistic networks are delay …

Drones are frequently used for the delivery of materials or other goods, and to facilitate the
capture and transmission of data. Moreover, drone networks have gained significant interest …

This paper investigates the performance of epidemic routing in mobile social networks
considering several communities which are frequently visited by nodes. To this end, a …

In some applicable scenarios, such as community patrolling, mobile nodes are restricted to
move only in their own communities. Exploiting the meetings of the nodes within the same …

In mobile social networks (MSN), portable devices of mobile users communicate with each
other. The contact and intercontact times are the two most important parameters that specify …

This work proposes an analytical model based on absorbing semi-Markov process for
predicting the expected pairwise delivery delay for single and multi-copy opportunistic …

This paper investigates the performance of epidemic routing, in mobile social networks
(MSNs), which makes use of the store-carry-forward paradigm for communication. Real-life …

We consider a single-source single-destination delay tolerant network (DTN) with Poisson
packet arrivals. The source uses a store and forward protocol which makes multiple copies …
