Abstract
For designing a wireless network, the distribution of the cell dwell time of nodes is important. It was reported that the distribution of the cell dwell time is approximated by a log-normal distribution. Thus, in this paper, we present two simple models in order to estimate the probabilistic distribution of the cell dwell time. One is the model where a node moves straightforward and goes across a cell where the velocity of a node is given by a probabilistic density function. Another is the model of a random walk, named a “tipsy random walk,” where a node moves with constant velocity and turns gently. We show that the probabilistic distribution of the cell dwell time of each model can be approximated by a log-normal distribution.
