Abstract

The emergence of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) has culminated in a new generation of wireless networking. We focus on a type of human-to-human communication in DTNs, where human behaviour exhibits the characteristics of networks by forming a community. We show the characteristics of such networks from extensive study of real-world human connectivity traces. We exploit distributed community detection from the trace and propose a Socio-Aware Overlay over detected communities for publish/subscribe communication. Centrality nodes have the best visibility to the other nodes in the network. We create an overlay with such centrality nodes from communities. Distributed community detection operates when nodes (i.e. devices) are in contact by gossipping, and subscription propagation is performed along with this operation. We validate our message dissemination algorithms for publish/subscribe with connectivity traces.
