Defining and Exploiting Network Topologies in Human Networks
Martin Roth, Pablo Vidales · 2007
Two link models are used to generate a social proximity network topology, used to support delay tolerant networking in human networks. It is shown how the link models produce graphs with fundamentally different properties, though based on the same underlying social mobility data. These properties influence how messages are routed, among other global attributes. Network design must consider link models as a fundamental aspect of the architecture.
