📖 QoS-Aware Data Query and Transmission in Mobile Opportunistic Networks. System Modeling, Analysis, Protocol Design, Experiment and Simulation.

Mobile opportunistic networks are formed by mobile users who share similar interests and connect with one another by exploiting Bluetooth and/or WiFi connections. Such networks not only re-assemble the real-world interaction between people, but also can effectively propagate data among mobile users. This book focuses on QoS-aware data query and transmission in mobile opportunistic networks. This book consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the mobile opportunistic networks. Chapter 2 discusses the background, related work and motivation of this book. Chapter 3 presents efficient data query in mobile opportunistic networks. Chapter 4 introduces efficient quality-of-service (QoS) support in mobile opportunistic networks. Delay-constrained least-cost multicasting in mobile opportunistic networks is discussed in Chapter 5. Finally, Chapter 6 concludes the book.
