Abstract

User's mobility is a key feature of the Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET). So far most of simulations simplify it with arbitrary movement within the simulation area, which doesn't fully reflect the reality. In the real world the movement of mobile objects, such as people and vehicles, is constrained by environment and their travel behaviour.

This thesis presents more realistic mobility model, the User-Oriented Mobility Model, which adds more details to the simulation and is adaptable to different scenarios. In evaluation section, MANET is simulated with both the proposed mobility model and with random model to demonstrate effect of using more realistic mobility models in simulations.
