Abstract
Without realistic modeling of node mobility, simulation evaluation of performance of mobile ad hoc networks may not correlate well with performance in a real deployment. In this work, we present a new, realistic model of node motion based on the movement of vehicles on real street maps. Our model can be used with the ns-2 network simulator. We compare our model with the Random Waypoint mobility model, the most widely used mobility model. Results show that, in many ways, the Random Waypoint mobility model is a good approximation for simulating the motion of vehicles on a road, but there are situations in which our new model is better suited.

Comparing apples and oranges?: trends in IVC simulations

TL;DR: It is argued that this trend to conduct simulations based on a consolidated set of established standards, models, and tools threatens to compromise both the reproducibility and the comparability of simulations conducted, but acknowledges that space constraints often make it impossible to describe current, complex simulations in full.

Modeling Probabilistic Flooding in VANETs for Optimal Rebroadcast Probabilities

TL;DR: Simple models of single and multiple lane roads are introduced to design effective probabilistic flooding schemes for VANETs and are found to achieve significant performance improvements compared to blind flooding with respect to the achieved reachability, end-to-end delay, and number of rebroadcasts.

Dynamic Source Routing in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a protocol for routing in ad hoc networks that uses dynamic source routing, which adapts quickly to routing changes when host movement is frequent, yet requires little or no overhead during periods in which hosts move less frequently.
