Nodes movements play a significant role in disseminating messages in the sparse mobile ad-hoc network. In the network scenarios, where traditional end-to-end paths do not exist, mobility creates opportunities for nodes to connect and…
Delay tolerant network (DTN) is opportunistic network where each node searches best opportunity to deliver the message called bundle to the destination. DTN implements a store and forward message switching system by simply introducing…
Spatio-temporal preferences and encounter statistics provide realistic measures to understand mobile user's behavioral preferences and transfer opportunities in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). The time dependent behavior and periodic…
In today's digital age, access to the Internet is essential, yet a significant digital divide exists, particularly in rural areas of developing nations. This paper presents a Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) framework that utilizes informal…

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have emerged as a state-of-the-art data-driven tool for modeling connectivity data of graph-structured complex networks and integrating information of their nodes and edges in space and time. However, as of yet,…
While a natural fit for modeling and understanding mobile networks, time-varying graphs remain poorly understood. Indeed, many of the usual concepts of static graphs have no obvious counterpart in time-varying ones. In this paper, we…

Delay tolerant Networks (DTNs) leverage the mobility of relay nodes to compensate for lack of permanent connectivity and thus enable communication between nodes that are out of range of each other. To decrease message delivery delay, the…
Rapid urbanization burdens city infrastructure and creates the need for local governments to maximize the usage of resources to serve its citizens. Smart city projects aim to alleviate the urbanization problem by deploying a vast amount of…
When nodes in a mobile network cluster together or move according to common external factors (e.g., cars that follow the road network), the resulting contact patterns become correlated. In this work we address the question of modelling such…
