Preface
Throughout the course of my work in multihop mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) over the last several years, I reached the conclusion that mobility models and performance metrics need to be treated in detail in designing these networks that are the ultimate frontier in wireless communications. A wide variety of mobility models can be used by mobile nodes. Accurate representations of the characteristics of mobile nodes are key in understanding whether a given protocol used in the wireless communications network is useful in a particular type of ad hoc mobile scenario. The mobility performance metrics aim to capture the characteristics of different mobility patterns and can be used to analyze the performance of communications protocols. This book is an attempt to put together the theoretical aspects of the mobility models and metrics that are relevant to the mobile ad hoc network. The mobility models are divided into seven different major groups based on their basic mobility characteristics: individual mobility, group mobility, autoregressive mobility, flocking mobility, virtual game-driven mobility, non-recurrent mobility, and time-variant community mobility. Many different variants of mobility models exist in each group and have been described in a chapter dedicated to each group. The mobility performance metrics are grouped into seven maj
