Abstract

The characteristics and analytical model of the semi-Markov smooth mobility model are described including verification of the model through simulations. The flexibility of representing the real-life scenarios of the MANET by the SMS mobility model is explained. The distance transition probability matrix is derived to predict the future link status based on the present distance between two neighboring nodes and their relative speed , which matches closely with simulation results.
