Advances in Delay-Tolerant Networks: Architecture and Enhanced Performance, Second Editionprovides an important overview of delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) for researchers in electronics, computer engineering, telecommunications and networking for those in academia and R&D in industrial sectors. Part I reviews the technology involved and the prospects for improving performance, including different types of DTN and their applications, such as satellite and deep-space communications and vehicular communications. Part II focuses on how the technology can be further improved, addressing topics, such as data bundling, opportunistic routing, reliable data streaming, and the potential for rapid selection and dissemination of urgent messages. Opportunistic, delay-tolerant networks address the problem of intermittent connectivity in a network where there are long delays between sending and receiving messages, or there are periods of disconnection. Reviews the different types of DTN and shows how they can be applied in satellite and deep-space communications, vehicular communications (including unmanned aerial), and during large-scale disastersConsiders security concerns for DTN and potential for rapid selection and dissemination of urgent messagesReviews the breadth of areas in which DTN is already providing solutionsCovers the prospects for DTN's wider adoption and development of standards | Advances in Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs) by Joel J. p.c.
