Simulating Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: Estimation of Connectivity Probability
Tatiana K. Madsen, Frank H. P. Fitzek, Ramjee Prasad · 2004
The network connectivity is one of the important parameters for ad hoc networking, where the communication between nodes relies on the multihop links. It can have a significant impact on the system performance. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the network properties for the correct interpretation of simulation results. The paper shows how to define and evaluate the connectivity probability of a mobile network where the position of the nodes and the link quality changes over time. A number of mobility models is considered including Virtual World model based on the mobility measurements of a multi-player game.
