Simulating Opportunistic Networks: Survey and Future Directions

Abstract:

Simulation is one of the most powerful tools we have for evaluating the performance of opportunistic networks (OppNets). In this paper, we focus on available tools and models, compare their performance and precision and experimentally show the scalability of different simulators. We also perform a gap analysis of state-of-the-art OppNet simulations and sketch out possible further development and lines of research. This paper is targeted at students starting work and research in this area while also serving as a valuable source of information for experienced researchers.
