We consider a setting in which a single item of content (such as a song or a video clip) is disseminated in a population of mobile nodes by opportunistic copying when pairs of nodes come in radio contact. We propose and study models that…
In practice, wireless networks are deployed over finite domains, the level of mobility is different at different locations, and user mobility is correlated over time. All these features have an impact on the temporal properties of…
