An ad-hoc mobile network is a collection of mobile nodes that are dynamically and arbitrarily located in such a manner that the interconnections between nodes are capable of changing on a continual basis. In order to facilitate communication within the network, a routing protocol is used

mobile hosts. RPGM can be readily applied to many existing applications. Moreover, by proper choice of parameters, RPGM can be used to model several mobility models which were previously proposed. One of the main themes of this paper is to investigate the impact of the mobility model on the performance

of the resulting distribution is the weighted sum of three independent components: the static, pause, and mobility component. This division enables us to understand how the model’s parameters influence the distribution. We derive an exact equation of the asymptotically stationary distribution for movement on a

Abstract — We present a way to calculate mobility parameters of a location based mobility model in order to achieve a predefined stationary user distribution. The problem is formulated as a linear programming problem and the solution is verified in simulations. Deviations from the target

Abstract—A mathematical formulation is developed for systematic tracking of the random movement of a mobile station in a cellular environment. It incorporates mobility parameters under the most generalized conditions, so that the model can be tailored to be applicable in most cellular environments

; to locate heteroclinic connecting orbits between these steady states and the compactly supported ‘droplet ’ steady states; and to determine how these orbits change when the ‘mobility ’ exponents n and m are changed. For example, when n + 1 ≤ m < n + 2 we know from the companion article that there can

One of the most important methods for evaluating the characteristics of ad hoc networking protocols is through the use of simulation. Simulation provides researchers with a number of significant benefits, including repeatable scenarios, isolation of parameters, and exploration of a variety

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we propose a new routing protocol, the Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP), for the Reconfigurable Wireless Networks, a large scale, highly mobile ad-hoc networking environment. The novelty of the ZRP protocol is that it is applicable to large Plat-routed networks. Furthermore

. This observation is confirmed on six distinct experimental data sets. It is at odds with the exponential decay implied by most mobility models. In this paper, we study how this new characteristic of human mobility impacts a class of previously proposed forwarding algorithms. We use a simplified model based
