Abstract

Abstract : Recently, content dissemination has become more and more important for opportunistic social networks. The challenges of opportunistic content dissemination result from random movement of nodes and uncertain positions of a destination, which seriously affect the efficiency of content dissemination. In this paper, we firstly construct time-varying interest communities based on the temporal and spatial regularities of users. Next, we design a content dissemination algorithm on the basis of time-varying interest communities. Our proposed content dissemination algorithm can run inO ( n log ⁡ n ) time. Finally, the comparisons between the proposed content dissemination algorithm and state-of-the-art content dissemination algorithms show that our proposed content dissemination algorithm can (a) keep high query success rate, (b) reduce the average query latency, (c) reduce the hop count of a query, and (d) maintain low system overhead.
