On the levy-walk nature of human mobility

I Rhee, M Shin, S Hong, K Lee, SJ Kim… - … /ACM transactions on …, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We report that human walk patterns contain statistically similar features observed in Levy
walks. These features include heavy-tail flight and pause-time distributions and the super …

Impact of human mobility on opportunistic forwarding algorithms

A Chaintreau, P Hui, J Crowcroft, C Diot… - IEEE Transactions …, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study data transfer opportunities between wireless devices carried by humans. We
observe that the distribution of the intercontact time (the time gap separating two contacts …

The message delay in mobile ad hoc networks

R Groenevelt, P Nain, G Koole - Performance Evaluation, 2005 - Elsevier
A stochastic model is introduced that accurately models the message delay in mobile ad hoc
networks where nodes relay messages and the networks are sparsely populated. The model …

A community based mobility model for ad hoc network research

M Musolesi, C Mascolo - Proceedings of the 2nd international workshop …, 2006 - dl.acm.org
Validation of mobile ad hoc network protocols relies almost exclusively on simulation. The
value of the validation is, therefore, highly dependent on how realistic the movement models …

Designing mobility models based on social network theory

M Musolesi, C Mascolo - ACM SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and …, 2007 - dl.acm.org
Validation of mobile ad hoc network protocols relies almost exclusively on simulation. The
value of the validation is, therefore, highly dependent on how realistic the movement models …

Recognizing exponential inter-contact time in VANETs

H Zhu, L Fu, G Xue, Y Zhu, M Li… - 2010 Proceedings IEEE …, 2010 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Inter-contact time between moving vehicles is one of the key metrics in vehicular ad hoc
networks (VANETs) and central to forwarding algorithms and the end-to-end delay. Due to …

Delay and capacity trade-offs in mobile ad hoc networks: A global perspective

G Sharma, R Mazumdar, N Shroff - IEEE/ACM Transactions On …, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Since the original work of Grossglauser and Tse, which showed that mobility can increase
the capacity of an ad hoc network, there has been a lot of interest in characterizing the delay …

Pocket switched networks: Real-world mobility and its consequences for opportunistic forwarding

A Chaintreau, P Hui, J Crowcroft, C Diot, R Gass… - 2005 - cl.cam.ac.uk
Opportunistic networks make use of human mobility and local forwarding in order to
distribute data. Information can be stored and passed, taking advantage of the device …
