Leveraging clustering for efficient communication in opportunistic networks
… for efficient communication in delay tolerant networks (DTNs), with a particular focus on pocket switched networks (PSNs), an emerging class of ad hoc networks made up of smartphones and other portable mobile devices carried by humans. Communication in such an infrastructure-less scenario is …

The Impact of Rogue Nodes on the Dependability of Opportunistic Networks
Opportunistic Networks (OppNets) are an extension to the classical Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) where the network is not dependent on any infrastructure (e.g. Access Points or centralized administrative nodes). OppNets can be more flexible than MANETs because an end to end path does not exist …

Privacy Preserving Enforcement of Sensitive Policies in Outsourced and Distributed Environments
… distributed environments are cloud computing and opportunistic networks, respectively. In this dissertation, we present the design, technical and implementation details of our proposed policy-based access control mechanisms for untrusted environments. First of all, we provide full confidentiality …

Multimedia data dissemination in opportunistic systems
Opportunistic networks (OppNets) are human-centric mobile ad-hoc networks, in which neither the topology nor the participating nodes are known in advance. Routing is dynamically planned following the store-carry-and-forward paradigm, which takes advantage of people mobility. This widens the range …

Advanced Protocols for Peer-to-Peer Data Transmission in Wireless Gigabit Networks
… to the design and implementation of opportunistic networks on off-the-shelf hardware and proposes a document exchange protocol, including document recommendation. First, this thesis contributes a measurement study of the A-MPDU frame aggregation behavior of IEEE 802.11n in a …

Modeling Crowd Mobility and Communication in Wireless Networks
… the fields of mobility modeling, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with mobile sinks, and opportunistic communication in theme parks. The two main directions of our contributions are human mobility models and strategies for the mobile sink positioning and communication in wireless networks. The …
