17. “Opportunistic Networking (Store-Carry-Forward)”
Mobile Ad-Hoc networks, intermittently connected and suitable for delay tolerant applications.
Opportunistic networks are human-centric because they opportunistically follow
the way humans come into contact.
Mobility models based on social behavior represent an important tool for testing
the performance of opportunistic systems.
