The characteristic that mobile opportunistic network exploits node contacts to forward packets is very suitable for the Ad Hoc networking requirements in actual environment, thus a large number of applications are produced. Considering the smart devices are generally carried by people or integrated in vehicles, human involvement is one of the most important factors for the success of these applications, this paper explored the influence of human mobility on data communication. The authors observed that people always visited hot regions, while other regions were visited less frequently. Motivated by this observation, the GS (Gathering Spray), a human gathering point assisted spraying scheme for mobile opportunistic scenarios was proposed. GS assumed each hot region configured a Access Point (AP), which had a higher priority to cache and spray messages than other mobile nodes. Theoretical analysis verifies that GS achieves a lower mean delivery delay than the Spray-Wait, and the simulation results show that GS improves the packet delivery ratio simultaneously.
