ABSTRACT
Internet of Things (IoT) has been receiving attention increasingly to make Smart Cities greener, safer and more efficient. Mobility in Smart Cities represents a fascinating complex system that involves social relationship, daily constraints and random explorations. In Opportunistic Networks (ONs), there is no contemporaneous end-to-end path towards destination most of the time, due to the large variation of network topology and sparse network density. In ONs, the communication between mobile nodes brings potential capacity to exchange data messages, and have been envisioned for a range of applications in Smart Cities. Connected and autonomous vehicles have been identified as enabling technologies for the next generation of driving. With continued and dramatically increased interests in the civil applications alongside collaboration with adjacent sectors, Mobile Social Networks (MSNs) have been extensively studied and identified among promising wireless mobile ad hoc networking architectures for the next generation of wireless communications.
