Beyond Traditional DTN Routing: Social Networks for Opportunistic Communication

摘要

This article examines the evolution of routing protocols for intermittentlyconnected ad hoc networks and discusses the trend toward social-based routingprotocols. A survey of current routing solutions is presented, where routingprotocols for opportunistic networks are classified based on the network graphemployed. The need to capture performance tradeoffs from a multi-objectiveperspective is highlighted.
