Opportunistic Networks Outline Why Opportunistic Networks What is Opportunistic Networks REALISTIC CASE STUDIES Issues of Opportunistic Networks Distribution of Opportunistic Networks Researches Current Hot Issues Why Opportunistic Networks Why ON: there exists some networks characterized by : Mobile A route connecting nodes never exists, and Routes are built dynamically. Nodes are not supposed to possess or acquire any knowledge about the network topology. Naturally, it is a DTN. Why Opportunistic Networks Two main evolutions of multi-hop ad hoc networks are envisioned namely Mesh Networks and Opportunistic Networks. Messages are often buffered in the network waiting for a path towards the destination to be available Mobile. What is Opportunistic Networks An opportunistic network is a network of wireless connected nodes. Nodes may be either mobile or fixed. Communication range between two connected nodes is within walking distance, i.e. 100–300 meters. The network topology may change due to node mobility or node activation and node deactivation. What is Opportunistic Networks The nodes provide the following functionality: Node Discovery: A network node is able to discover other network nodes in direct communication range. One-hop Message Exchange: A node is able to send and receive arbitrary data in form of a message to or from any other node in direct communication range. What is Opportunistic Networks An opportunistic network is a wireless self-organized network, in which there is no need to build a fixed connectivity between source node and destination node, and the communication depends on the opportunity of node meeting. It is referred to a wireless self-organized network with DTN features. What is Opportunistic Networks An opportunistic network in which nodes act as carriers can achieve constant capacity irrespective of the number of nodes in the network.
