Abstract

Opportunistic networks (ONs) are an extension of mobile ad hoc networks where nodes are generally human-carried mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, which do not have a global view of the network. They only possess knowledge from the nodes they encounter, so well-defined paths between a source and a destination do not necessarily exist. There are plenty of real-life uses for ONs, including, but not limited to, disaster management, smart cities, floating content, advertising, crowd management, context-aware platforms, distributed social networks, or data offloading and mobile cloud computing. In order to implement and test a routing or dissemination solution for opportunistic networks, simulators are employed. They have the benefit of allowing developers to analyze and tweak their solutions with reduced costs, before deploying them in a working environment. For this reason, in this chapter we present MobEmu, an opportunistic network simulator which can be used to evaluate a user-created routing or dissemination algorithm on a desired mobility trace or synthetic model.
