TLDR
An experiment measuring forty-one humans' mobility is presented, in exhibiting a power-law distrbution for the time between node contacts, and the implications on the design of forwarding algorithms for PSN are discussed.Abstract:
Pocket Switched Networks (PSN) make use of both human mobility and local/global connectivity in order to transfer data between mobile users' devices. This falls under the Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) space, focusing on the use of opportunistic networking. One key problem in PSN is in designing forwarding algorithms which cope with human mobility patterns. We present an experiment measuring forty-one humans' mobility at the Infocom 2005 conference. The results of this experiment are similar to our previous experiments in corporate and academic working environments, in exhibiting a power-law distrbution for the time between node contacts. We then discuss the implications of these results on the design of forwarding algorithms for PSN.read more

Efficient routing in intermittently connected mobile networks: the multiple-copy case
TL;DR: A detailed exploration of the single-copy routing space is performed in order to identify efficient single- copy solutions that can be employed when low resource usage is critical, and can help improve the design of general routing schemes that use multiple copies.
