Proposed algorithm

Mobility patterns

[92]

Uses time and contact duration of a social encounters for predicting the mobility pattern in the MSN for efficient content distribution

Mobility pattern can be predicted for a given period for the time depending upon time and contact duration

[93]

An efficient message routing (called, “SocialCast”) is presented for publish/subscribe network for content distribution using colocation and movement patterns of the users

The colocation metric together with mobility pattern is used to predict the availability of forwarding nodes

[94]

Introduction an algorithm for directing an unconnected user using location-based service in the MSN

Attraction force function, which defines the attraction between nodes, is used

[95]

Uses underlying online social network services for exploding mobility behaviour to enhance the performance of the MSN

Uses link traces from an online social network
