Opportunistic spatio-temporal dissemination system for vehicular networks
Ilias Leontiadis, Cecilia Mascolo · 2007
Opportunistic dissemination protocols have potentially applications in the domain of vehicular networking, ranging from advertising to emergency/traffic/parking information spreading: one of the characteristics of vehicular networks is that they are often partitioned due to lack of continuity in connectivity among cars or limited coverage of infostations in remote areas. Most available opportunistic, or delay tolerant, networking protocols, however, fail to take into account the peculiarities of vehicular networks.
