We deal in this paper with the content forwarding problem in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). We first formulate the content delivery interaction as a non-cooperative satisfaction game. On one hand, the source node seeks to ensure a delivery…

Connecting long-range wireless networks to the Internet imposes challenges due to vastly longer round-trip-times (RTTs). In this paper, we present an ICN protocol framework that enables robust and efficient delay-tolerant communication to…

In time-sensitive networks, bounds on worst-case delays are typically obtained by using network calculus and assuming that flows are constrained by bit-level arrival curves. However, in IEEE TSN or IETF DetNet, source flows are constrained…

This study aims to optimise the "spray and wait" protocol in delay tolerant networks (DTNs) to improve the performance of information transmission in emergency situations, especially in car accident scenarios. Due to the intermittent…
