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.

Analysis on the Waiting Time of Empty Taxis for the Taxi Telematics System

Junghoon Lee
TL;DR: The analysis procedure first defines a state diagram that traces the sequence of changes in taxi's status and speed, creating 4,335 pick-up records out of 1.3 M location reports from the 2.3 test month, which contributes to digitize and verify the long-time experience and empirical preference of many drivers.

A sociality-aware approach to computing backbone in mobile opportunistic networks

TL;DR: This work theoretically proves that the backbone construction problem is NP-Complete (NPC), and explicitly takes node sociality into account when computing the backbone for mobile opportunistic networks and incrementally proposes three algorithms for computing the mobile backbone.

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.
