This paper addresses the challenges of high mobility and frequent topology changes in Flying Ad-hoc Networks (FANETs) by presenting the first of its kind comprehensive analysis of mobility models. They govern the movement pattern of UAVs and the variation in speed and direction that occur over time. Therefore, the simulation study of effective routing strategies depends on suitable mobility mod...

In mobile communications, mobility modeling is involved in several aspects related to signaling and traffic load analysis. In third generation systems, the influence of mobility on the network performance (e.g., handover rate) will be strengthened, mainly due to the huge number of mobile users in conjunction with the small cell size. In particular, the accuracy of mobility models becomes essent...

Accurate mobility models are needed to simulate the physical movement of nodes in a highly-dynamic aeronautical network. The fundamental problem with many synthetic mobility models is their random, memoryless behavior. Airborne ad hoc networks require a flexible memory-based 3-dimensional mobility model. We present a new 3-dimensional implementation of the Gauss-Markov mobility model for airbor...

In their study, Brenna and Spandonaro analyzed the mobility into Italian regions. In particular, it analyzes the situation of 5 regions, with very different backgrounds. With this paper, we try to better define the meaning of health mobility and to find its underlying causes. Furthermore, we propose a strategy that could help in controlling mobility flows that currently are the source of health...

One of the most important issues in location-based services is tracking moving objects efficiently. To achieve this goal, an efficient protocol which updates location information in a location server is primarily needed. In fact, the performance of a location update strategy highly depends on the assumed mobility pattern. In most existing studies, however, the mobility issue has been disregarde...

This research paper is a literature review on the behavioral shift using agent-based modeling. We will go through different topics based on agent-based modeling.

Moreover, it explains the modern research on this topic and many pros and cons on a behavioral shift by using agent-based modeling. © 2017 The Authors. Published...

We study job mobility using a multivariate hazard model in discrete time. It involves two correlated random effects, one at the firm level and another at the worker level. Bayesian estimates are based on a Portuguese matched employer-employee dataset. Our results confirm the importance of unobserved heterogeneity at the individual level and at the firm level. Furthermore, the model performs bet...

The modeling of mobility for a collection of wireless devices operating over a large area is a formidable task as it involves many degrees of freedom such as network topology, local densities and speed and so, much of the work in this area focuses on imposing assumptions on mobility which make the models somewhat artificial. On the other hand, a detailed model of mobility in the context of radi...

Realistic simulation scenarios are critical for correctly assessing the performance of mobile ad hoc networks. This paper presents a tool to generate realistic mobility traces for MANET simulations. A new mobility module called AMADEOS was developed as an extension for the CANUMobisim framework. AMADEOS makes it easy and fast to automatically generate realistic mobility. It allows editing spati...
