Predicting encounters in opportunistic networks
Radu‐Ioan Ciobanu, Ciprian Dobre · 2012
An opportunistic network is composed of human-carried mobile devices that interact in a store-carry-and-forward fashion. A mobile node stores data and carries it around; when it encounters another node, it may decide to forward the data if the encountered node is the destination or has a better chance of bringing the data closer to the destination.
