This paper surveys the literature of opportunistic offloading. Opportunistic offloading refers to
offloading traffic originally transmitted through the cellular network to opportunistic network …

The cloud seems to be an excellent companion of mobile systems, to alleviate battery
consumption on smartphones and to backup user's data on-the-fly. Indeed, many recent …

With the explosive increase of smartphones, tablets and laptops, the past few years have
witnessed the exponential rise of mobile data traffic. This has already caused data overload …

To cope with explosive traffic demands on current cellular networks of limited capacity,
Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) is used to offload traffic from cellular networks to high …

Major wireless operators are nowadays facing network capacity issues in striving to meet the
growing demands of mobile users. At the same time, 3G-enabled devices increasingly …

Offloading cellular traffic through Opportunistic Mobile Networks, also known as
opportunistic offloading has been proposed as a promising way to relieve the overload of …

Data offloading through vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is one of the most promising
methods for overcoming the overload problem in cellular networks. As data delivery by …

Mobile-cloud offloading mechanisms delegate heavy mobile computation to the cloud. In
real life use, the energy tradeoff of computing the task locally or sending the input data and …

Dynamic networks, in particular Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), are characterized by a
lack of end-to-end paths at any given instant. Because of that, DTN routing protocols employ …

The recent boost up of mobile data consumption is straining cellular networks in
metropolitan areas and is the main reason for the ending of unlimited data plans by many …
