Multimedia Data Dissemination in Opportunistic Networks
Opportunistic networks are human-centric mobile ad-hoc networks, in which neither the topology nor the participating nodes are known in advance. Routing is dynamically planned following the store-carry-and-forward paradigm, which takes advantage of people's mobility. This widens the communication range and supports indirect end-to-end data delivery. But due to the mobility, OppNets are characterized by frequent communication disruptions and uncertain data ...
