An Efficient Hybrid MANET-DTN Routing Scheme for OLSR

This paper presents a new hybrid protocol which combines the end-to-end routing of traditional wireless mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) with the store-carry-forward routing paradigm of delay-tolerant networks (DTNs). An extensive evaluation over a wide range of topologies, from highly connected to h...
