Opportunistic Network Algorithms for Internet Traffic Offloading in Music Festival Scenarios.

Constant Internet connectivity has become a necessity in our lives. Hence, music festival organizers allocate part of their budget for temporary Wi-Fi equipment in order to sustain the high network traffic generated in such a small geographical area, but this naturally leads to high costs that need to be decreased. Thus, in this paper, we propose a solution that can help offload some of that traffic to an opportunistic network created with the attendees' smartphones, therefore minimizing the costs of the temporary network infrastructure.
