In Mobile Social Networks (MSN), users can subscribe to online services and receive service data through base stations in addition to exchanging data directly. When multiple users in the same cell subscribe to the same service, the base station needs to forward the service data to all these users individually, leading to low utilization of the wireless resource. In order to improve the bandwidth efficiency,...
Mobile social network (MSN) is a special kind of delay tolerant network that consists of mobile users with social characteristics. The existing social-aware data delivery algorithms usually ignore the energy cost of devices as well as the time-varying characteristic of user clustering in the vicinity of hotspots, which result in the degradation of the energy efficiency and the delay performance of...
Mobile social networks (MSNs) are mobile communication systems focusing not only on the behaviour but also on the social needs of the users. In a broader view all mobile systems used by people in their everyday lives can be characterized as MSNs, since all interactions taking place follow social rather than random patterns. Whether the deployed communication system takes into account the social background...
This paper investigates into a special type of network that encourages cooperation between its upper layer social network and lower layer wireless communication network with particular focus on commuters on the road. Regarded as a branch of mobile social networks, the so-called vehicular social network (VSNs) proposed in this paper needs to consider both social aspects (such as social ties through...
