Abstract
“Unstable Network” is one of the most important features of delay tolerant networks (DTNs), where most of services or data dissemination are processed in a mobile environment. Geographic information, therefore, is an important factor needed to be carefully analyzed to overcome this “unstable” environment. In this chapter, how to use geographic information to improve data dissemination in DTNs is presented and two DTN applications based on geographic information are illustrated. The first one is vehicle based DTNs, where the vehicle is a carrier to disseminate data. The second one is human associated DTN, where the human is the carrier.
