Mobility models are one piece in a chain of models, which are used to simulate mobile communication networks. Thereby, mobility models are generated to create typical movement patterns for nodes in a given environment. The following paper proposes a new mobility model for urban areas. The model contains movement channels, which are calculated by the multiple application of Voronoi graphs. The c...

Increasing demand for mobility in wireless data network has given rise to various mobility management schemes. Most of the analysis on mobility protocols used Random Waypoint mobility model However, the analysis done earlier ignored some major costs, resulting in an incomplete estimation and used random waypoint model which fails to represent realistic movement pattern. In this paper, we have d...

Mobile Ad Hoc networks are subject to some unique security issues that could delay their diffusion. Several solutions have already been proposed to enforce specific security properties. However, mobility pattern nodes obey to can, on one hand, severely affect the quality of the security solutions that have been tested over ”synthesized” mobility pattern. On the other hand, specific mobility pat...

In real world scenarios, there is an increasing concern in placement as well as assessment of mobility management protocols for Network Mobility (NEMO). Mobility models have a substantial impact on the performance evaluation of any new mobility management protocol in NEMO. A considerable assessment of any protocol and comparison with other equivalent protocol cannot be completed without making ...

—Movement patterns of mobile nodes significantly affect the performance of a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) routing protocol. Thus, it is essential that the mobility traces generated by a mobility model closely match the trace data collected from experiments. In addition, the probability distribution of mobile nodes (over the simulation area) varies with time before it comes to a steady-state. ...

What is important in location-aware services is how to track moving objects efficiently. To this end, an efficient protocol which updates location information in a location server is highly needed. In fact, the performance of a location update strategy highly depends on the assumed mobility pattern. In most existing works, however, the mobility issue has been disregarded and too simplified as l...

A good mobility model can help researchers to study the user mobility issues in many areas (wireless LAN context switching). In this paper, we propose a new framework for constructing a realistic mobility model incorporating decision and operation models. We use the revised social force model to simulate the realistic mobile users’ movements and artificial neural networks (ANN) models to create...
