  1. A Standard Measure of Mobility for Evaluating Mobile Ad Hoc Network Performance By Joseph Charboneau Karthik Raman

  2. MANET • Unpredictable topology changes. • Performance related to efficiency of routing protocol. • Performance studies are done with simulations.

  3. Performance Measure • Problem • There are many mobility models but not a unified quantitative “measure” of mobility. • Ex. • A is the performance of protocol R1 using model M1. • B is the performance of protocol R2 using model M2. • There are two different models used so results can’t be compared between A and B.

  4. Performance Measure (Cont.) • Other studies are based on • Average speed • Maximum speed • Pause time • Rate of link changes • Mobility factor • Problem • Still no unified quantitative measure of mobility.

  5. Performance Measure (Cont.) • The study approached in this paper is a solution for unified quantitative measure of mobility. • Solution • Use a standard that is flexible and consistent. • Flexible because the mobility measure can be customized by using a remoteness function. • Consistent because mobility measure has a linear relationship to link change rate.

  6. Remoteness • Remoteness is based on the distance between two nodes. • ni(t), i = 0,1,…,N-1, represent the location vector of node i at time t. • dij(t)=|nj(t)-ni(t)| is the distance between node i to j at time t. • Remoteness is defined by • Rij(t)=F(dij(t)) • Where F(.) is a function of the distance.

  7. Remoteness (Cont.) • Requirements that function F(.) must meet. • F(0)=0, limx→∞F(x)=1 • dF(x)/dx ≥ 0 for all x ≥ 0 • dF(x)/dx|x=0=0 • limx→∞dF(x)/dx=0 • dF(x)/dx|x=R ≥ dF(x)/dx for all x ≥ 0

  8. Remoteness (Cont.) • Requirements of function F(.) defined. • Normalizes F(.) to have a unity maximum value. • Guarantees that the remoteness is monotonically increasing function of distance. • and d. give the boundary condition of F(.), which guarantee that the remoteness of a node at extreme locations does not change with movement. • Makes the remoteness most sensitive to the movement of a node at communication range.

  9. Remoteness (Cont.) • One function of F(.) that meets all of the requirements is. • F(x) = 1/Γ(r) • With λ=(r-1)/R where r can be a non-integer. • r is the sensitivity to the remoteness at communication range.

  10. Mobility Measure • Mobility measure is defined in terms of the time derivatives of the remoteness. • N is the number of nodes and Mi(t) is a measure of the relative movement of other nodes seen by i.

  11. Mobility Measure (Cont.) • The mobility measure M(t) represents the average amount of the relative movement of the nodes in the network at time t. • For a network in steady state, the time average of mobility measure can be used.

  12. Mobility Measure (Cont.) • If the function chosen for F(.) is the function discussed earlier then the mobility measure function will be.

  13. Mobility Measure (Cont.) • If the function chosen for F(.) is the identity function then the mobility measure function will be.

  14. Mobility Measure (Cont.) • Both MG(t) and MI(t) are both mobility measures but only MG(t) meets the given requirements.

  15. Mobility Models • Random Waypoint Model (RWP) • Node selects random destination & speed • Speed uniformly distributed between min and max speeds • Pauses at destination for random time and selects a new destination

  16. Mobility Models (Cont.) • Random Gauss-Markov Model (RGM) • Each node is assigned a speed, direction and updated every Δt • Speed and direction are uniformly distributed between their min and max values • At boundary node reflects and chooses a new random direction

  17. Mobility Models (Cont.) • Reference Point Group Mobility Model (RPGM) • Each group has a logical center which defines location, speed, direction, etc • Defines a reference point and random motion vector for each node in a group • Random motion vector is updated periodically and is given by the length and direction, distributed uniformly over the intervals [0, RMmax] and [0, 2π)

  21. Simulation Results • All scenarios are done with 500 seconds warm up time and measured for the next 500 seconds. • The first equation is based on L(t) which defines the number of link changes.

  22. Simulation Results (Cont.) • The formula to calculate the time average of the normalized link change is. • If N(t) is a constant N the equation is. • If N(t) is a function of time the equation is.
