Simulation is one of the most powerful tools we have for evaluating the performance of
opportunistic networks (OppNets). In this paper, we focus on available tools and models …

Graph theory provides a language for studying the structure of relations, and it is often used
to study interactions over time too. However, it poorly captures the intrinsically temporal and …

One of the key factors for the spreading of human infections, such as the COVID-19, is
human mobility. There is a huge background of human mobility models developed with the …

Abstract Message Broadcasting in Opportunistic Networks is based on the opportunity of
establishing contacts among mobiles nodes for message exchange. Nevertheless, as the …

Proximity-based content sharing between nearby devices in cellular networks using device-
to-device (D2D) communications—without routing through the base station—has emerged …

The message delivery ratio of mobile opportunistic networks strongly depends on the
transmission time, which is closely related either to the mobility of users and to the …

Communications in mobile opportunistic networks, instead of using the Internet
infrastructure, take place upon the establishment of ephemeral contacts among mobile …

This article proposes FRIMF, a fuzzy routing scheme for opportunistic mobile networks
(OMNs). In FRIMF, we exploit the pairwise intercontact times to evaluate the connection …

Opportunistic networks are a form of mobile ad-hoc networks that exploit users mobility to
provide data sharing. Individual nodes store, carry and forward messages using direct …

In the context of Opportunistic Networking (OppNet), routing and delivery algorithms used for
content dissemination employ different metrics to perform accurate decisions. It has been …
