Abstract:

Based on an introduction to the advancement of research on the entity and group mobility models of mobile Ad hoc networks, a novel three dimensional (3-D) smooth Gauss-semi-Markov mobility model for the 3-D mobile Ad hoc networks is proposed. Characterizing the Speed Up, Smooth, Turning, Disbanding, Assembling, Slow Down and Pause phases in the motion of nodes accurately, the model can truly reflect the physical law of moving objects in 3-D space. Furthermore, as the parameters in the model are more controllable than others, the model can be used flexibly as not only an entity model but also a group one by adjusting the parameters. Thus,the model can be applied for simulating node mobility in 3-D mobile Ad hoc networks.

Key words: three dimensional ad hoc networks, mobility model, entity, group
