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

MobilityFirst is a future Internet architecture with mobility and trustworthiness as central
design goals. Mobility means that all endpoints--devices, services, content, and networks …

A mobile social network (MSN) is a special delay tolerant network (DTN) composed of
mobile nodes with social characteristics. Mobile nodes in MSNs generally visit community …

Micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) provide data such as images and videos from an aerial
perspective, with data typically transferred to the ground. To establish connectivity in larger …

Routing and flooding are important functions in wireless networks. However, until now
routing and flooding protocols are investigated separately within the same network (ie, a …

This paper first shows that Prophet, Spray and Wait, Epidemic, and First Contact routing
protocols in Opportunistic Mobile Networks (OMNs) are vulnerable to the Jamhole attack. In …

Emergency response operations are a promising application area for mobile ad-hoc
networks (MANETs). Most existing MANET routing protocols assume that an end-to-end path …

In this paper, we propose a time-sensitive utility model for delay tolerant networks (DTNs), in
which each message has an attached time-sensitive benefit that decays over time. The utility …

In conventional networks, routing problem can be modeled as the design of an efficient
source-to-destination route based on persistent end-to-end paths. However, in a delay …

In this paper, we show that Hybrid Routing and Prophet protocols in Opportunistic Mobile
Networks (OMNs) are vulnerable to the CollusiveHijack attack, in which a malicious attacker …
