Abstract

Recently, a new communication paradigm has imposed in wireless communications, which exploits opportunism as a means for exploiting the resources of separate network systems according to the needs of specific application tasks. In this paper, we describe the main characteristics of opportunistic networks and the most relevant research challenges they pose, highlighting how mobility can be both a threat and an advantage to be exploited.
