Abstract
Mobile Social Networks are networks in which mobile social users physically interact with each other and further reach network service, even in the absence of network infrastructure or end-to-end connectivity [69] [86]. MSNets can be viewed as a kind of socially-aware Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs). Thanks to the popularization of smartphones (e.g., iPhone, Nokia N95, and Blackberry), MSNets have begun to attract more attention to be deployed in a number of critical areas, including large-scale disaster recovery, battlefields, vehicular ad hoc networks, and wide-area sensor networks. However, the intermittent and uncertain network connectivity makes data dissemination in MSNets a challenging problem.
