Abstract

This paper presents an analytical approach to model opportunistic networks, with mobile devices that may concurrently employ multiple networks. By modeling these systems as complex networks, it is possible to obtain information on the degree probability distribution of nodes. Such a metric provides insights on the connectivity of the opportunistic network. The analytical tool is assessed via simulation.
