✦ Synopsis


Opportunistic networking offers many appealing application perspectives from local social-networking applications to supporting communications in remote areas or in disaster and emergency situations. Yet, despite the increasing penetration of smartphones, opportunistic networking is not feasible with most popular mobile devices. There is still no support for WiFi Ad-Hoc and protocols such as Bluetooth have severe limitations (short range, pairing). We believe that WiFi Ad-Hoc communication will not be supported by most popular mobile OSes (i.e., iOS and Android) and that WiFi Direct will not bring the desired features. Instead, we propose WiFi-Opp, a realistic opportunistic setup relying on (i) open stationary APs and (ii) spontaneous mobile APs (i.e., smartphones in AP or tethering mode), a feature used to share Internet access, which we use to enable opportunistic communications. We compare WiFi-Opp to WiFi Ad-Hoc by replaying realworld contact traces and evaluate their performance in terms of capacity for content dissemination as well as energy consumption. While achieving comparable throughput, WiFi-Opp is up to 10 times more energy efficient than its Ad-Hoc counterpart. Eventually, a proof of concept demonstrates the feasibility of WiFi-Opp, which opens new perspectives for opportunistic networking.
