Studies of Intermittently connected delay tolerant wireless sensor networks (ICDT-WSNs) are a new field gaining more popularity for various new applications. These networks are an integration of both wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and delay tolerant networks (DTNs). ICDT-WSNs like the WSN have limited resources and like DTNs have intermittent connections. Traditional wireless sensor networks are appropriate for applications that have an end-to-end connection between the source and destination nodes, but they are not suitable for some applications that have not end-to-end connections between source and destination nodes and have intermittently connected. ICDT-WSNs designed for these types of applications. By recognizing the characteristics of these networks, different applications can offer to them. Surveying of these applications can be led to identify the core needs of ICDT-WSNs and propose efficient protocols for ICDT-WSNs. This paper summarizes and compares some applications of ICDT-WSNs and characteristics and requirements.
