What you lose when you snooze: How duty cycling impacts on the contact process in opportunistic networks

In opportunistic networks, putting devices in energy-saving mode is crucial to preserve their battery, and hence to increase the lifetime of the network and foster user participation. A popular strategy for energy saving is duty cycling. However, …

The stability region of the delay in pareto opportunistic networks

The intermeeting time, i.e., the time between two consecutive contacts between a pair of nodes, plays a fundamental role in the delay of messages in opportunistic networks. A desirable property of message delay is that its expectation is finite, so …
