Weijia Jia · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2004
This paper presents several reasonable assumptions on mobile ad hoc network and introduces a discrete-time Markov chain(DTMC) model, called adhoc-{dt} model, Based on the adhoc-{dt}, the equilibrium distribution of the model can be obtained. And it calculates some important mobile ad hoc network parameters, such as the probability that a particular mobile host is in the vicinity of another mobile host, the average number of a mobile host's neighbors, the average flooding distance, etc. Also it proposes a specific definition method of the transition probability matrix and obtains the corresponding results.
