TLDR
It is shown that the cell residence time can be described by the generalized gamma distribution and the negative exponential distribution is a good approximation for describing the channel holding time.
Abstract
A mathematical formulation is developed for systematic tracking of the random movement of a mobile station in a cellular environment. It incorporates mobility parameters under the most generalized conditions, so that the model can be tailored to be applicable in most cellular environments. This mobility model is used to characterize different mobility-related traffic parameters in cellular systems. These include the distribution of the cell residence time of both new and handover calls, channel holding time, and the average number of handovers. It is shown that the cell residence time can be described by the generalized gamma distribution. It is also shown that the negative exponential distribution is a good approximation for describing the channel holding time.

The node distribution of the random waypoint mobility model for wireless ad hoc networks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a detailed analytical study of the spatial node distribution generated by random waypoint mobility and derived an exact equation of the asymptotically stationary distribution for movement on a line segment and an accurate approximation for a square area.

The Node Distribution of the Random Waypoint Mobiligy Model for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

TL;DR: This article considers a generalization of the random waypoint model in which the pause time of the mobile nodes is chosen arbitrarily in each waypoint and a fraction of nodes may remain static for the entire simulation time and derives an exact equation of the asymptotically stationary distribution for movement on a line segment and an accurate approximation for a square area.
