Mobile social networks (MSNs) are a kind of delay tolerant network that consists lots mobile nodes with characteristics. Recently, many social-aware algorithms have been proposed to address routing problems in MSNs. However, these tend forward messages the locally optimal characteristics, and thus cannot achieve performance. In this paper, we propose distributed Community-Aware Opportunistic Routing (CAOR) algorithm. Our main contributions home-aware community model, whereby turn an MSN into...
