Abstract
In this paper, we investigate mobility models in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and propose a novel mobility model for mobile ad hoc nodes with intelligence. The proposed model named Attracting Group Mobility (AGM) Model means mobile node moving from one attracting point to another. Compared to the traditional mobility models, the proposed model has intelligent property. Once a reference point is full, mobile nodes can’t enter even they are attracted and the mobile nodes already in the reference point may leave it with a probability. Besides, mobile nodes have inertia that moving speed and direction have only a small variation. Moreover, inhomogeneity is discussed in this paper. Simulation results show that the proposed mobility model can also be a method of generating inhomogeneity distribution.
