In Opportunistic Mobile social networks (OMSNs), the social characteristics and behavior of humans carrying mobile devices are exploited to improve information provision and data routing in the network. Social-based routing algorithms attempt to exploit users’ social features such as similarity, centrality and betweenness, singularly or combined, to select a suitable relay node among neighbors. However,…
