Opportunistic networks are a class of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) where contacts
between mobile nodes occur unpredictably and where a complete end-to-end path between …

Abstract A Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) is a network capable of handling long delays and
data loss efficiently in various challenged scenarios and environments. Owing to the …

Delay and disruption tolerant networks (DTNs) transport application data by creating a “store
and forward” network where no infrastructure exists. Although end-to-end connectivity may …

Communication networks, whether they are wired or wireless, have traditionally been
assumed to be connected at least most of the time. However, emerging applications such as …

Opportunistic networks (OppNets) refer to a number of wireless nodes opportunistically
communicating with each other in a form of “Store–Carry–Forward”. This occurs when they …

Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) are networks where there is no immediate connection
between the source and the destination. Instead, nodes in these networks use a store–carry …

This paper introduces a novel routing protocol in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), aiming to
solve the online distributed routing problem. By manipulating a collaborative reinforcement …

Due to the instability and intermittent connectivity of links among the nodes and the lack of
connectivity in opportunistic network, it is not feasible to use common routing for delivering …

Ad-hoc social networks (ASNETs) represent a special type of traditional ad-hoc network in
which a user's social properties (such as the social connections and communications …

Multicopy routing strategies have been considered the most applicable approaches to
achieve message delivery in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). Epidemic routing and two …
