MobilityModels

Graphical representation of mobility models in Python. This project was a part of the assignment for the course 'Analysis, Modeling and Simulation of Communication Networks' (EI7450) at Technical University of Munich.

Motivation

Wireless network simulations often involve movements of entities like,

• Users are roaming on WLAN access points that are installed in buildings (infrastructure mode).
• Cell phone users are walking a city.
• Cars using car-to-car communication.
• Ad hoc networks in emergency situations, e.g., earthquake or fire.

Mobility of entities plays an important role in such scenarios. Results may vary significantly if the mobility pattern is changed.

Types of Mobility Models

Random

• The study of system behavior by varying parameters.

Deterministic (based on real measurements)

• Limited number of traces.

Combination of Random and Deterministic

• A part of the model is deterministic while rest of the model is random.
