Mobility models are invaluable for determining the performance of routing protocols in opportunistic networks. The movement of nodes has a significant influence on the topological structure and data transmission in networks. In this paper, we propose a new mobility model called the campus-based community mobility model (CBCNM) that closely reflects the daily life pattern of students on a real campus. Consequent on a discovery that the pause time of nodes in their community follows a power law distribution, instead of a classical exponential distribution, we abstract the semi-Markov model from the movement of the campus nodes and analyze its rationality. Then, using the semi-Markov algorithm to switch the movement of the nodes between communities, we infer the steady-state probability of node distribution at random time points. We verified the proposed CBCNM via numerical simulations and compared all the parameters with real data in several aspects, including the nodes' contact and inter-contact times. The results obtained indicate that the CBCNM is highly adaptive to an actual campus scenario. Further, the model is shown to have better data transmission network performance than conventional models under various routing strategies.

Conventional simulations for mobile ad hoc network so far are based on the "random walk" of the mobile nodes, which are not constrained by their surrounding spatial environments. In this paper, we present a geography-based mobility model, which reflects more realistic movements of the real world. This mobility model is used for performance evaluation of MANET routing protocols.protocols.

We propose an efficient internetworking model for fast handover between UMTS and WLAN networks. Mobility anchor (MA) is provided at the boundary between GGSN and PDG, under the 3GPP-proposed internetworking reference model. Such MA can enable authentication and session initialization before L2 handover of the mobile terminal, so that seamless and fast vertical handover could be possible.

As the applications for Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) have varied, performance analysis has become one of the main research areas. They commonly offer only simple radio propagation models that neglect obstacles of a propagation environment. The radio wave propagation model has a strong impact on the results of the simulation run. In this paper we present the new experimental results of the impacts of the various propagation models on MANETs' performance. Intensive simulations have been presented using the group mobility which models typical ad-hoc situations such as military movements or disaster recovery activities under the supervision of a group leader. Comparisons of conventional simple models with more complicated models, i.e., shadowing, Raleigh, and Ricean models, show that, in spite of the models' popularity, the free space and two-ray ground models are too optimistic in describing real ad-hoc group mobility situations.

Yeung suggested[10] efficient channel management technique suitable for the mobility model in the hierachical cellular system. It improved the existing channel allocation techniques by additionally considering the user’s mobility, allocating the channel of microcell to low-speed mobiles, and the channels of macrocell to high-speed mobiles. In this paper, we have suggested new channel management technique, which is directly compared with those of Yeung’s system and existing model. Blocking probabilities for each model are found through the queuing analysis and we have shown that our proposed system outperforms the both.

In this paper we have presented a network based high-speed handover protocol using NetLMM(Network based Localized Mobility Management) WG protocol in IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force). We use IEEE 802.21 MIHS(Media Independent Handover Services) for improving handover latency and we analysis proposed Fast NetLMM protocol performance using Fluid Flow Mobility Model. Evaluation results show that the Fast NetLMM protocol performance is better than other mobility management protocols.

In this paper we numerically approximated the field-effect mobility of a-Si:H TFT. Field-effect mobility, based on the charge-trapping model and new effective capacitance model in our study, used Chebyshev approximation was approximated as the function of gate potential(gate-to-channel voltage). Even though various external factors are changed, this formula can be applied by choosing the characteristic coefficients without any change of the approximation formula corresponding to each operation region. Using new approximated field-effect mobility formula, the dependences of field-effect mobility on materials and thickness of gate insulator, thickness of a-Si bulk, and operation temperature in inverted staggered-electrode a-Si:H TFT were estimated. By this was the usefulness of new approximated mobility formula proved.

We studied threshold voltages and I-V characteristics. considering short channel effect of the fully depleted thin film n-channel SOI MOSFET. We presented a charge sharing model when the back surface of short channel shows accumulation depletion and inversion state respectively. A degree of charge sharing can be compared according to each of back-surface conditions. Mobility is not assumed as constant and besides bulk mobility both the mobility defined by acoustic phonon scattering and the mobility by surface roughness scattering are taken into consideration. I-V characteristics is then implemented by the mobility including vertical and parallel electric field. kThe validity of the model is proved with the 2-dimensional device simulation (MEDICI) and experimental results. The threshold voltage and charge sharing region controlled by source or drain reduced with increasing back gate voltage. The mobility is dependent upon scattering effect and electric field. so it has a strong influence on I-V characteristics.

This paper proposes a method to predict maximum traction for unmanned robots on rough terrain in order to improve traversability. For a traction prediction, we use a friction-slip model based on modified Brixius model derived empirically in terramechanics which is a function of mobility number $B_n$ and slip ratio S. A friction-slip model includes characteristics of various rough terrains where robots are operated such as soil, sandy soil and grass-covered soil. Using a friction-slip model, we build a prediction model for terrain parameters on which we can know maximum static friction and optimal slip with respect to mobility number $B_n$. In this paper, Mobility number $B_n$ is estimated by modified Willoughby Sinkage model which is a function of sinkage z and slip ratio S. Therefore, if sinkage z and slip ratio are measured once by sensors such as a laser sensor and a velocity sensor, then mobility number $B_n$ is estimated and maximum traction is predicted through a prediction model for terrain parameters. Estimation results for maximum traction are shown on simulation using MATLAB. Prediction Performance for maximum traction of various terrains is evaluated as high accuracy by analyzing estimation errors.
