The performance of data delivery in wireless relay networks (WRNs), such as delay-tolerant
networks and device-to-device communications heavily relies on the cooperation of mobile …

Downloading of contents on mobile devices has been increasing rapidly since the
introduction of mobile communication technologies. The huge traffic load presents a …

Socially aware networking (SAN) is a new communication paradigm, in which the social
characteristics of mobile nodes are exploited to improve the performance of data distribution …

The lack of pre-existing infrastructure or dynamic topology makes it impossible to establish
end-to-end connections in opportunistic networks (OppNets). Instead, a store-and-forward …

In opportunistic networks, the nature of intermittent and disruptive connections degrades the
efficiency of routing. Epidemic routing protocol is used as a benchmark for most of routing …

Nowadays, routing proposals must deal with a panoply of heterogeneous devices,
intermittent connectivity, and the users' constant need for communication, even in rather …

In this paper, we argue that the ability to accurately spot random and social relationships in
dynamic networks is essential to network applications that rely on human routines, such as …

Cooperative data forwarding can improve the performance of data routing in Mobile Social
Networks (MSNs). However, previous studies mainly assumed that mobile nodes show …

A variety of applications and forwarding protocols have been proposed for opportunistic
networks (OppNets) in the literature. However, the methodology of evaluation, testing and …

Opportunistic networks aim to deal with the unpredictable environment for data
communication. Messages in opportunistic networks need to be stored with the node in the …
