Percolation-theoretic bounds on the cache size of nodes in mobile opportunistic networks

Abstract The node buffer size has a large influence on the performance of Mobile Opportunistic Networks (MONs). This is mainly because each node should temporarily cache packets to deal with the intermittently connected links. In this paper, we study fundamental bounds on node buffer size below whic...

When p < p c , the network is in the subcritical case, and there exists a closed-form solution for buffer occupation, which is independent of the size of the network.
