ABSTRACT
In certain geographical areas such as the rural areas or the developing regions, the lack of infrastructure, the temporary nature of the connections and the limited access to fixed public networks does not allow the use of all the advantages offered by the Internet. In this paper we present our project that aims to test a new communication system based on the combination of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (called ePidgeons) and wireless networking technologies for Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTN). As a study case we will use the riparian communities along the rivers in the Amazon region.

Adaptive routing in mobile opportunistic networks
MSWIM '10: Proceedings of the 13th ACM international conference on Modeling, analysis, and simulation of wireless and mobile systemsIn this paper, we study how to adapt the routing according to dynamic network conditions in wireless ad hoc networks. We present a method that dynamically chooses routing agent between ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing protocol (AODV) with TCP (...
A systematic technical survey of DTN and VDTN routing protocols
There are major challenges in establishing effective communications between nodes in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). In them the systems are subject to wireless interference and disconnections, thus hindering the availability and reliability of ...
DTN overlay on OLSR network
AINTEC '10: Proceedings of the 6th Asian Internet Engineering ConferenceWireless Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are characterized by frequent and unpredictable disconnections, due to mobility, interference, power management or any other issues. Such disconnections result in the failure of MANET routing protocols that are ...
