Modelling Mobile User Behaviour for Future Wireless Networks Using OPNET Modeller Modelling Mobile User Behaviour for Future Wireless Networks Using OPNET Modeller

This paper presents a new mathematical framework of a Scalable Mobility Model (SMM) to characterise user movement behaviour, which can be applied to a wide number of network scenarios ranging from Local Area Networks (LAN) to Wide Area Networks (WAN). The core technique to describe the spatial and temporal behaviour of mobile users is the introduction of a novel concept referred to as Pole of Gravity. We use OPNET Modeller and its object oriented modelling approach to construct this stochastic framework and show how the mobility traces generated from OPNET simulator has been used to estimate the teletraffic demand for City Area of Bristol, UK.
