Routing Protocols
Designing and evaluating store-carry-forward mechanisms for intermittent connectivity.
Research Topic
Opportunistic Networks and DTN
Design and evaluation of routing protocols for opportunistic ad hoc networks that use mobility and proximity to forward information.
Focus
Communication through temporary encounters.
This past research line studied opportunistic ad hoc networks where information is forwarded through temporary contacts among users and vehicles. The work considered networks complementary to the cellular infrastructure, including users and public transport vehicles in urban scenarios.
Urban Services
Studying services, including mobile games, whose logic is based on opportunistic contacts.
