The introduction of intelligent devices with short range wireless communication techniques
has motivated the development of Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) during the last few …

Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs) have been identified as one of the key areas in
the field of wireless communication, wherein sparseness and delay are particularly high …

Providing reliable and efficient networking services in wireless ad hoc networks is extremely
challenging due to high mobility and unstable wireless nature: a significant number of …

In this paper, we develop a cooperative mechanism, RELICS, to combat selfishness in
DTNs. In DTNs, nodes belong to self-interested individuals. A node may be selfish in …

The performance modeling study of Delay-Tolerant Network routing, in general, assumes
the nodes to be homogeneous (in terms of features such as the coverage range) and …

In this paper, we deal with reliable and energy-efficient data delivery in sparse wireless
sensor networks (WSNs) with multiple mobile sinks (MSs). This is a critical task, especially …

The field of delay tolerant networking is rich with protocols that exploit node mobility to
overcome unpredictable or otherwise bad connectivity. The performance of many of these …

In this paper, we address the problem of distributing a large amount of bulk data to a sparse
vehicular network from roadside infostations, using efficient vehicle-to-vehicle collaboration …

Fountain codes have been extensively employed in delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) due to
their near-capacity performance with very low encoding/decoding complexity. A decode-and …

In this paper, we address the problem of delivering multimedia content to a sparse vehicular
network from roadside infostations, using efficient vehicle-to-vehicle collaboration. Due to …
