With the increasing integration of wireless short-range
communication technologies in mobile devices, novel applications
for spontaneous communication, interaction and collaboration are
possible. In this book, we distinguish between active and passive
collaboration. The devices help users become aware of each other
and stimulate face-to-face conversation (active collaboration).
Also, autonomous device communication for sharing information
without user interaction is possible, i.e., devices pass
information to other devices in their vicinity (passive
collaboration). Spontaneous communication of mobile devices leads
to so-called opportunistic networks, a new and promising evolution
in mobile ad-hoc networking. They are formed by mobile devices
which communicate with each other while users are in close
proximity. This book investigates opportunistic networks in their
entirety. The proposed concepts comprise system components, a node
architecture, a system model and a simple one-hop communication
paradigm for opportunistic network applications. One focus of this
book is a profile-based data dissemination mechanism. Readers of
this book would include graduate students and postgraduate
researchers in both academia and industry, who wish to gain a
deeper knowledge of opportunistic networks, its underlying idea and
its potential capabilities.
