Opportunistic DF-AF Selection Relaying with Optimal Relay Selection in Nakagami-m Fading Environments [PDF]
, 2013 An opportunistic DF-AF selection relaying scheme with maximal received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the destination is investigated in this paper. The outage probability of the opportunistic DF-AF selection relaying scheme over Nakagami-m fading channels is analyzed, and a closed-form solution is obtained. We perform asymptotic analysis of the outage

Heterogeneous epidemic model for assessing data dissemination in opportunistic networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 In this paper we investigate a susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemic model describing data dissemination in opportunistic networks with heterogeneous setting of transmission parameters. We obtained the estimation of the final epidemic size assuming that amount of data transferred between network nodes possesses a Pareto distribution, implying
