The simulation of mobile networks calls for a mobility model to generate the trajectories of
the mobile users (or nodes). It has been shown that the mobility model has a major influence …

Simulation is universally considered the most effective method of designing and evaluating
new network protocols. When developing protocols for mobile networking, the chosen …

Mobility patterns play an important role for performance evaluations of mobile networks. To
simulate user movement, existing simulation tools provide only a few simple mobility models …

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes forming a self-
configuring network without using any existing infrastructure. Since MANETs are not …

Recent studies on mobility modeling have focused on characterizing user mobility from real
traces of wireless LANs (WLANs) and creating mobility models based on such …

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 …

Mobility of users significantly impacts performance of a mobile ad-hoc network. Most existing
simulation tools offer only a few random mobility models, which poorly reflect user …

In this paper we present a trace-driven framework capable of building realistic mobility
models for the simulation studies of mobile systems. With the goal of realism, this framework …

Wireless user-mobility prediction has been investigated from various angles to improve
network performance. Student populations in campuses, pedestrian and vehicular …

Understanding the user mobility is essential to resource optimization and algorithm
evaluation in mobile networks, such as network planning, content distribution, and …
