In many networks, it is less costly to transmit a packet to any node in a set of neighbors than to one specific neighbor. This observation was previously exploited by opportunistic routing protocols by using single-path routing metrics to assign to each no ...
Embedded wireless networks find a broad spectrum of applications in transportation, environmental monitoring, logistics, supply chain management, and "pocketswitched" communication. The node mobility patterns in these applications tend to give rise to spat ...
