Nowadays, wireless networks are witnessing several deployments in various extreme
environments where they suffer from different levels of link disruptions depending on the …

Mobile social networks (MSNs) have become increasingly popular in supporting many novel
applications since emerging in the recent years. Their applications and services are of great …

We study data transfer opportunities between wireless devices carried by humans. We
observe that the distribution of the intercontact time (the time gap separating two contacts …

Ad hoc mobile wireless networks have seen increased adaptation in a variety of disciplines
because they can be deployed with simple infrastructures and virtually no central …

Understanding user mobility is critical for simulations of mobile devices in a wireless
network, but current mobility models often do not reflect real user movements. In this paper …

We study traces taken from UMass DieselNet, a Disruption-Tolerant Network consisting of
WiFi nodes attached to buses. As buses travel their routes, they encounter other buses and …

The massive growth in mobile users and wireless technologies has resulted in increased
data traffic and created demand for additional radio spectrum. This growing demand for …

Realistic mobility models are important to understand the performance of routing protocols in
wireless ad hoc networks, especially when mobility-assisted routing schemes are employed …

People often seek information by asking other people even when they have access to vast
reservoirs of information such as the Internet and libraries. This is because people are great …

This paper presents small world in motion (SWIM), a new mobility model for ad-hoc
networking. SWIM is relatively simple, is easily tuned by setting just a few parameters, and …
