  • Abstract
    Opportunistic networks have complex construction and are multi-formed. In order to standardize the research on opportunistic networks, a formal taxonomy was proposed, which formally defined the geographical preferences, movement terminals and special transmit nodes of opportunistic networks. Then the opportunistic networks were classified according to the taxonomy. This taxonomy provided an open platform for the other research fields of opportunistic networks.
