The basic properties of DTN include; no fixed source-to-destination route, longer delay between nodes, and frequent disconnection among nodes. DTN is also known as Opportunistic Networks (OppNets). Routing protocols for traditional ad-hoc networks can\u2019t work in DTN, because conventional networks require continuous end-to-end routes among sender and receiver nodes for the complete duration of message communication. So, OppNets used the principle of store-carry-forward to provide routing in the wireless network. This article provides a Bibliometrics evaluation of wireless networks for articles, sources, keywords, and others. The complete basics of the wireless network along with their classification, characteristics, routing protocols, strengths, weaknesses, and applications. This is analysed that only 14% of VANET-based protocols, 25% of MANET-based, 25% WSN-based, and 36% of OppNet-based protocols are already introduced in the wireless network.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11277-024-11064-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,6]],"date-time":"2024-05-06T11:02:17Z","timestamp":1714993337000},"page":"2039-2059","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Speculative Analysis of Wireless Network by Bibliometrics Tool"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"135","author":[{"given":"Renu","family":"Dalal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manju","family":"Khari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3556-9331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sanjay","family":"Misra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"11064_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"165","DOI":"10.5121\/ijdps.2012.3417","volume":"3","author":"R Dalal","year":"2012","unstructured":"Dalal, R., Singh, Y., & Khari, M.
