I've been working on opportunistic networking since a friend was caught up in a disaster zone after a tsunami and couldn't use his smart phone, as the net was down, yet there were many devices around the town which had wireless and could store, carry, and forward messages, but no protocols to implement this useful service. This book covers in clear and up-to-date style, the principles and practice of the main communications mechanisms to date, and offers helpful exercises and useful information on how to implement these systems in practice.

Opportunistic Mobile Networks
Advances and Applications
von Sudip Misra, Barun Kumar Saha und Sujata PalThis textbook reviews the theory, applications, and latest breakthroughs
in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). Presenting a specific focus on Opportunistic
Mobile Networks (OMNs), the text considers the influence of human aspects, and
examines emerging forms of inter-node cooperation. Features: contains
review terms and exercises in each chapter, with the solutions and source code
available at an associated website; introduces the fundamentals of DTNs, covering OMNs, PSNs,
and MOONs; describes the ONE simulator, explaining how to set up a simulation
project; provides detailed insights into the development and testing of
protocols, together with a set of best practices for increased productivity and
optimized performance; examines human aspects in the context of communication
networks, from human-centric applications to the impact of emotion on
human-network interplay; proposes various schemes for inter-node cooperation in
DTNs/OMNs; presents a detailed discussion on aspects of heterogeneity in
DTNs.
