Data Dissemination in Opportunistic Networks

چکیده
Opportunistic networks represent one of the most interesting evolution of traditional Mobile Ad Hoc NETworks (MANET). The typical MANET scenario comprises mobile users with their wireless-enabled mobile devices that cooperate in an ad hoc fashion to support communication without relying on any pre-existing networking infrastructure. Specifically, in MANETs the nodes of the network become active entities, and substitute to routers, switches, etc., in forwarding messages. Thus, messages are delivered following a multi-hop path over the nodes of the MANET itself. Despite the huge research activity that they have generated, MANETs were far from being widely adopted. The main drawback of MANETs was their lack of realism in research approach [17]. From a practical standpoint, real small-scale implementations have been long disregarded, and real users have not been involved in the MANET evaluation. From a research standpoint, MANET results were mined by excessively

Data Dissemination in Opportunistic Networks
Mobile devices integrating wireless short-range communication technologies make possible new applications for spontaneous communication, interaction and collaboration. An interesting approach is to use collaboration to facilitate communication when mobile devices are not able to establish direct communication paths. Opportunistic networks, formed when mobile devices communicate with each other ...
متن کاملOpportunistic Networks: A Taxonomy of Data Dissemination Techniques
When mobile devices are unable to establish direct communication, or when communication should be offloaded to cope with large throughputs, mobile collaboration can be used to facilitate communication through opportunistic networks. These types of networks, formed when mobile devices communicate only using short-range transmission protocols, usually when users are close, can help applications s...
متن کاملCollaborative Data Dissemination in Opportunistic Vehicular Networks
Future opportunistic vehicular networks offers viable means for collaborative data dissemination by high-capacity device-to-device communication. This is a highly challenging problem because a) mobile data items are heterogeneous in size and lifetime; b) mobile users have different interests to different data; and c) dissemination participants have limited storages. We study collaborative data ...
متن کاملNeighbour Selection Protocol for Information Dissemination through P2P Interactions in Opportunistic Network
In Opportunistic Networks, information forwarding is involved when nodes are in range. Absence of network topology knowledge of Opportunistic Network makes information forwarding the most compelling challenge. Endto-end communication in Opportunistic Networks is supported naturally through nodes’ mobility. Disconnected peers are opportunistically connected to each other dynamically as informati...
متن کاملUsing known vectors to improve data dissemination in opportunistic networks
An opportunistic network is a type of challenged network in which contacts are intermittent, an end-to-end path rarely exists between the source and the destination, disconnection and reconnection are common occurrences, and link performance is highly variable or extreme. Conventional methods of data dissemination in opportunistic networks rely on a meta-message exchange scheme, called the Summ...
متن کاملSocial Aspects to Support Opportunistic Networks in an Academic Environment
As wireless and 3G networks become more crowded, users with mobile devices have difficulties in accessing the network. Opportunistic networks, created between mobile phones using local peer-topeer connections, have the potential to solve such problems by dispersing some of the traffic to neighboring smartphones. Recently various opportunistic routing or dissemination algorithms were proposed an...
