In wireless sensor and actor network research, the commonly used mobility models for a mobile actor are random walk model, random waypoint mobility model, or variants thereof. For a fully connected network, the choice of mobility model for the actor is not critical because, there is at least one assured path from the sensor nodes to the actor node. But, for a sparsely connected network where in...

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) is emerging technology finds variety of applications in military, movement tracking, industries and medical fields. WSNs are self configurable, self healing networks. This paper is a survey of mobility models that are used in the simulations of sensor networks. I describe several mobility models that represent mobile nodes whose movements are independent and depen...

the mobility of entrepreneurs, which is an integral part of human life, can occur in all aspects of occupation and location. finding out the general trends of mobility in entrepreneurship can be used in the effective motivational activities. as sylhet is a remittance and raw materials rich but industrially backward area, the mobility of entrepreneurship in both aspects in this area is to be ana...

In this paper, we present a novel mobility model, called the Scalable Mobility Modeling Tool (SMMT), which is based around a scaleable algorithmic mobility model that can be applied to a large number of possible horizontal environments, from wide area networks (WAN) to local areas networks (LAN), to analyze the issues related to mobility management and radio resource management. The SMMT introd...

In this work we propose a new model for spatial games. We present a definition of mobility in terms of the satisfaction an agent has with its spatial location. Agents compete for space through a noncooperative game by using mixed strategies. We are particularly interested in studyig the relation between Nash equilibrium and the winner strategy of a given model with mobility, and how the mobilit...

Design and efficacy of a routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks strongly depends on the underlying mobility pattern of the mobile nodes. Counter to the perception of mobility being random in time and space, we show that spatial modality is a key trait of human mobility. Most of the mobility of an individual can be captured by a small fraction of all locations, called spatial modes, visited...

Ad hoc network consists of a set of identical nodes that move freely and independently and communicate among themselves via wireless links. The most interesting feature of this network is that they do not require any existing infrastructure of central administration and hence is very suitable for temporary communication links in an emergency situation. This flexibility, however, is achieved at ...

Human mobility is a key factor in spatial disease dynamics and related phenomena. In computational models host mobility is typically modeled by diffusion in space or on metapolulation networks. Alternatively, an effective force of infection across distance has been introduced to capture spatial dispersal implicitly. Both approaches do not account for important aspects of natural human mobility,...
