Efficient Scheduling of Pigeons for a Constrained Delay Tolerant Application

<p/> <p>Information collection in the disaster area is an important application of pigeon networks—a special type of delay tolerant networks (DTNs) that borrows the ancient idea of using pigeons as the telecommunication method. The aim of this paper is to explore highly efficie...
