Device-to-device (D2D) communication proposes a new epitome in mobile networking to
avail data exchange between physically proximate devices. The exploitation of D2D …

Opportunistic or delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) may be used to enable communication in
case of failure or lack of infrastructure (disaster, censorship, remote areas) and to …

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

Epidemic algorithms have found their way into many areas of computer science, such as
databases and distributed systems, and recently for communication in Opportunistic or …

In opportunistic networks the majority of communication mechanisms make use of relay
nodes for delivering the messages. Any possible unwillingness of the relay nodes to …

Cellular operators count on the potentials of offloading techniques to relieve their
overloaded data channels. Beyond standard access point-based offloading strategies, a …

Social media has become increasingly important in shaping public vaccination views,
especially since the COVID-19 outbreak. This paper uses bow-tie structure to analyse a …

In opportunistic networks, direct communication between mobile devices is used to extend
the set of services accessible through cellular or WiFi networks. Mobility patterns and their …
