Abstract

Wireless mobile networks (WMNs) should be tested under various realistic conditions including transmission range, type and pattern of data traffic and movement pattern of the users. This paper is a review of mathematical modeling of mobility models that cater to the movement pattern of the users in IP-based WMNs. We describe five mobility models where movement pattern of the mobile user is estimated by some probability distribution function. The aim of this paper is to present some of mobility models based on classical theories in order to support researchers with options to choose when their protocol or architecture needs to be studied under various mobility patterns.
