摘要：
In this study, state-of-art data forwarding methods in opportunistic networks are profoundly reviewed. Opportunistic networks is one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of complete paths between data senders and receivers is not required all the time. Opportunistic networks enable users communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear and reconfigure dynamically. As one key and principal problem in any networking, data forwarding and routing play an important role in improving network performance. As present routing protocols are mostly based on one primary assumption that end to end complete route should exist while data need to be transported between source-destination node pair, these protocols do not fit for opportunistic networks. New data forwarding and routing methods and protocols should be proposed for emerging opportunistic networks in order to meet the extensive pervasive networking need from the industry society. Furthermore, in the end of this study, new directions and trends in this area that are worth being studied further are pointed out. © 2010 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
