Part one looks at delay-tolerant network architectures and platforms including DTN for satellite communications and deep-space communications, underwater networks, networks in developing countries, vehicular networks and emergency communications. Part two covers delay-tolerant network routing, including issues such as congestion control, naming, addressing and interoperability. Part three explores services and applications in delay-tolerant networks, such as web browsing, social networking and data streaming. Part four discusses enhancing the performance, reliability, privacy and security of delay-tolerant networks. Chapters cover resource sharing, simulation and modeling and testbeds.
Reviews the different types of DTN and shows how they can be applied in satellite and deep-space communications, vehicular and underwater communications, and during large-scale disasters
Considers the potential for rapid selection and dissemination of urgent messages is considered
Reviews the breadth of areas in which DTN is already providing solutions and the prospects for its wider adoption
Providing an important overview for postgraduate students and academic researchers in electronics, computer engineering, telecommunications and networking; R&D managers in industrial sectors such as wireless technology, electronics, telecommunications, networking and information technology, as well as such groups as the military and disaster management organisations
