Traffic carried by mobile networks doubles per year, resulting in congestion and high cost for network upgrades. With the widespread integration of sensing devices with the Internet—in the so-called “Internet of Things”—infrastructurebased networks are becoming an increasingly expensive way of keeping up with communication needs due to the high volume of sensing data. Delay Tolerant Networks pr...

resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in lte networks. most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. the great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (mos) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. in this p...

Low density of network nodes in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) outside the rush hours and in peripheral areas limits usability of traditional ad hoc networking, which requires end-to-end connectivity between communicating parties. In this article, we survey how usability of vehicular networks could be escalated with delay-tolerant networking, in which vehicles store and carry network data w...

Today, people predominately rely on the Internet and cellular network, as well as the plain old telephone system, to communicate with each other. Typically, these communication services are built from fixed wired or wireless infrastructure, where the " next hop " is known in advance, well engineered and its performance in terms of delay, throughput, and loss characteristics has been well studie...
