Realistic mobility models are fundamental to evaluate the performance of protocols in
mobile ad hoc networks. Unfortunately, there are no mobility models that capture the non …

Realistic mobility models are important to understand the performance of routing protocols in
wireless ad hoc networks, especially when mobility-assisted routing schemes are employed …

Traditionally, ad hoc networks have been viewed as a connected graph over which end-to-
end routing paths had to be established. Mobility was considered a necessary evil that …

We propose a novel mobility model, named Semi-Markov Smooth (SMS) model, to
characterize the smooth movement of mobile users in accordance with the physical law of …

Realistic mobility models are crucial for the simulation of Delay Tolerant and Opportunistic
Networks. The long standing benchmark of reproducing realistic pairwise statistics (eg …

In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), the mobility of the network users can heavily affect
the performance of networking protocols because it causes sudden connectivity changes …

In this paper, we survey recent advances in mobility modeling for mobile ad hoc network
research. The advances include some new mobility models and analysis of older mobility …

A large body of work has theoretically analyzed the performance of mobility-assisted routing
schemes for intermittently connected mobile networks. But the vast majority of these prior …

Over the last decades, modeling of user mobility has become increasingly important in
mobile networking research and development. This has led to the adoption of modeling …

Recent discovery of the mixture (power-law and exponential) behavior of inter-meeting time
distribution of mobile nodes presents new challenge to the problem of mobility modeling and …
