X Abstract

In opportunistic networking, networks are sparse and nodes are moving around, so it is hard to predict when a node gets and how long it keeps in contact with another. For prompt neighbor discovery, a node is assumed to broadcast continuously probing messages to discover another in its vicinity. This kind of persistent probing consumes too much energy for battery- operated devices to afford. One way to save energy for neighbor discovery is simply to turn off radio during non-contact time. In this paper, as the first step toward the general solution, we simplify the problem consisting of one sender and one receiver moving around and present a novel neighbor discovery scheme with radio "on" and "off' which is optimal in a sense that it does not miss a contact with the minimum energy consumed.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
