In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), the mobility of the network users can heavily affect the performance of networking protocols because it causes sudden connectivity changes and topological variations. This is even more important in recent promising …
Understanding how humans move is a key factor for the design and evaluation of networking protocols and mobility management solutions in mobile networks. This is particularly true for mobile scenarios in which conventional single-hop access to the …
In this chapter we survey the most recent proposals for modelling user mobility in mobile pervasive networks, and specifically in opportunistic networks. We identify two main families of models that have been proposed. The first modelling approach is …
