Book cover Handbook of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks for Mobility Models

Abstract

The salient characteristics of mobility models of mobile nodes in mobile ad hoc networks are described. We have described how the different mobility models are grouped, although different methods can be used to classify them. The overall criteria for formulations of a mobility model are explained. The mobility parameters and impact of the mobility models on the communications protocols over the MANET are briefly summarized.
