“…Regarding latency, messages are to experience longer waiting times prior to delivery. An analytical model based on Delay Differential Equations is proposed for the authors of [ 33 , 34 ] to evaluate through simulations the diffusion of messages in social groups taking into account the transmission time of messages. The idea of actively involving users with tasks of minimum impact on their regular activities is also employed by crowd-based participatory systems [ 35 , 36 ].…”

Regular citizens equipped with smart devices are being increasingly used as “sensors” by Smart Cities applications. Using contacts among users, data in the form of messages is obtained and shared. Contact-based messaging applications are based on establishing a short-range communication directly between mobile devices, and on storing the messages in these devices for subsequent delivery to cloud-based services. An effective way to increase the number of messages that can be shared is to increase the contact duration. We thus introduce the Friendly-Sharing diffusion approach, where, during a contact, the users are aware of the time needed to interchange the messages stored in their buffers, and they can thus decide to wait more time in order to increase the message sharing probability. The performance of this approach is anyway closely related to the size of the buffer in the device. We therefore compare various policies either for the message selection at forwarding times and for message dropping when the buffer is full. We evaluate our proposal with a modified version of the Opportunistic Networking Environment (ONE) simulator and using real human mobility traces.

Abstract. The performance of mobile opportunistic networks strongly depends on contact duration. If the contact lasts less than the required transmission times, some messages will not get delivered, and the whole diffusion scheme will be seriously affected. In this paper we propose a new diffusion method, called Forced-Stop, that is based on controlling node mobility to guarantee a complete message transfer. Using the ONE simulator and realistic mobility traces, we compared our proposal with the classical Epidemic diffusion. We show that Forced-Stop improves the message delivery performance, increasing the delivery ratio up to 30%, and reducing the latency of message delivery up to 40%, with a limited impact on buffer utilisation and message relaying. These results can be a relevant indication to the designers of opportunistic network applications that could integrate in their products strategies to inform the user about the need to temporarily stop in order to favor the overall data delivery.

Abstract. Body Area Networks (BANs) expect to exploit IEEE802. 15.4-2015-TSCH, proposing an efficient MAC layer for wireless industrial sensor networks. The standard relies on techniques such as channel hopping and bandwidth reservation to ensure both energy savings and reliable transmissions. With the expected growth of the BAN usage, we must now consider dense topologies, and interference. In this paper, we propose a rescheduling algorithm to avoid the collisions among the Enhanced Beacons (EB): each coordinator is able to adapt distributively its transmission to avoid interference. Indeed, EB losses impact negatively the performance of a BAN. We also optimized conjointly the neighbor discovery mechanism since a multichannel MAC would else increase too much the discovery delay. Our simulations validate the relevance of our discovery and scheduling mechanisms to cope with a very dense deployment of interfering BANs.
