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 …

In the performance evaluation of a protocol for an ad hoc network, the protocol should be
tested under realistic conditions including, but not limited to, a sensible transmission range …

In this paper, we examine the communication model widely used in simulation studies of
mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). We find that the communication model uses an overly …

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes forming a
temporary network without using any existing infrastructure. Since not many MANETs are …

In this paper, we propose a novel general technique, based on renewal theory, for analyzing
mobility models in ad hoc networks. Our technique enables an accurate derivation of the …

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

Realistic models for node movement are essential in simulating mobile ad hoc networks.
Many MANET scenarios are most realistically represented using group movement, but …

The random waypoint model is a commonly used mobility model in the simulation of ad hoc
networks. It is known that the spatial distribution of network nodes moving according to this …

Simulation environments are an important tool for the evaluation of new concepts in
networking. The study of mobile ad hoc networks depends on understanding protocols from …
