A Realistic Trace-based Mobility Model for First Responder Scenarios

摘要

Realistic modeling of the nodes' mobility is essential for obtaining credible results from the simulative performance evaluation of wireless multi-hop networks. However, most of the mobility models in the literature have not been validated with real world movement traces. To overcome this issue, we follow a trace-based approach to mobility modeling, where movement traces from the real world scenario are statistically analyzed and used for parametrization. In this paper, we introduce and evaluate a new realistic mobility model for first responder scenarios based on such an analysis while also considering geographic restrictions by incorporating free publicly available map data.
