Reasons for migration vary, and range from escaping from extremely ad...
متن کاملConnection Probability in Reference Point Group Mobility Model
In ad hoc wireless mobile networks, the mobility of wireless nodes plays a significant role in evaluating the network’s performance. As the nodes are mobile there is a frequent transition between the connections of nodes from up to down state. It is essential to know th e likeliness of having a connection between different nodes and the parameters on which the connection probability depends in ...
