Abstract


A multi-hop mobile ad hoc network (MANET) consist of a group of mobile wireless nodes formed by the wireless devices carried by the people in any environment which are capable of forming a self configured wireless network that operate without infrastructure support and take part in routing packets among themselves in a cooperative manner. Mobility of nodes that represent the actual movement pattern of the mobile nodes plays an important role in MANET routing protocol‟s performance evaluation. In this work, a generic realistic movement pattern of nodes in MANET is simulated with the help of a Personal behavior model that dictates the spatial placement of individual mobile nodes in the environment based on the probability of visit to the attraction points in the environment with the help of the node specific and environment specific parameters is proposed. The developed model is based on the list of activities intended to be performed in the environment in attraction points where nodes fulfill their intended activities rather than the random movement. This model is adaptive since the mobility behavior of mobile nodes at any environment can be modeled by observing the environment and obtaining the node specific and environment specific inputs.

Keywords
