Mobile Ad Hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes forming a temporary network without the aid of any established infrastructure. To conduct meaningful performance analysis of MANETs, it is essential that the simulation of mobility model should reflect the realistic mobility pattern of mobile nodes i.e. placement of mobile nodes at different intervals of time. The formation ...

An efficient deployment of a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) requires a realistic approach towards the mobility of the hosts who want to communicate with each other over a wireless channel. Since ad-hoc networks are driven by human requirements, instead of considering the random movement of mobile nodes, we concentrate on the social desire of the nodes for getting connected with one another and p...

The high-level contribution of this paper is a simulation-based analysis of the network connectivity, hop count and lifetime of the routes determined for ad hoc networks under the following four mobility models: Random Waypoint model, Gauss-Markov model, City Section model and the Manhattan model. Two kinds of routes are determined: routes with the minimum hop count and routes with the longest ...

The focus of this paper is routing in a wide area mobile ad hoc network referred to as a Terminode Network. Our routing scheme is a combination of two protocols: Terminode Local Routing (TLR) and Terminode Remote Routing (TRR). TRR is used for remote destinations. It utilizes the location of a destination obtained by the source using location management or location tracking. TLR acts when the p...

In this paper a novel realistic vehicular mobility model is introduced. It captures the moving-ingroups, conscious travelling, and introduces the concept of smart travelling while following drivers’ social behavior extracted from inquiries and experimental traffic measurements. Under the model, a routing algorithm is considered. The routing algorithm minimizes the distance to a target on a step...

The validity of the mobility model used to evaluate a cellular network determines the validity of the evaluation. In the literature, unrealistic assumptions on mobility are exercised for the sake of simplicity. In this paper, we present a novel mobility model which is realistic in the sense that it captures the moving-in-groups, conscious traveling, and inertial behaviors of the subscribers whi...

This paper addresses the challenges of high mobility and frequent topology changes in Flying Ad-hoc Networks (FANETs) by presenting the first of its kind comprehensive analysis of mobility models. They govern the movement pattern of UAVs and the variation in speed and direction that occur over time. Therefore, the simulation study of effective routing strategies depends on suitable mobility mod...
