Mobility Models for Vehicular Communications
The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-15497-8_11The experimental evaluation of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) implies elevate economic cost and organizational complexity, especially in presence of solutions that target large-scale deployments. As performance evaluation is however mandatory prior to the actual implementation of VANETs, simulation has established as the de-facto standard for the analysis of dedicated network protocols and architectures. The vehicular environment makes network simulation particularly challenging, as it requires the faithful modelling not only of the network stack, but also of all phenomena linked to road traffic dynamics and radio-frequency signal propagation in highly mobile environments. In this chapter, we will focus on the first aspect, and discuss the representation of mobility in VANET simulations. Specifically, we will present the requirements of a dependable simulation, and introduce models of the road infrastructure, of the driver’s behaviour, and of the traffic dynamics. We will also outline the evolution of simulation tools implementing such models, and provide a hands-on example of reliable vehicular mobility modelling for VANET simulation.Manzoni, P.; Fiore, M.; Uppoor, S.; MartĂnez DomĂnguez, FJ.; Tavares De Araujo Cesariny Calafate, CM.; Cano Escribá, JC.

MoMo: a group mobility model for future generation mobile wireless networks
Existing group mobility models were not designed to meet the requirements for
accurate simulation of current and future short distance wireless networks
scenarios, that need, in particular, accurate, up-to-date informa- tion on the
position of each node in the network, combined with a simple and flexible
approach to group mobility modeling. A new model for group mobility in wireless
networks, named MoMo, is proposed in this paper, based on the combination of a
memory-based individual mobility model with a flexible group behavior model.
MoMo is capable of accurately describing all mobility scenarios, from
individual mobility, in which nodes move inde- pendently one from the other, to
tight group mobility, where mobility patterns of different nodes are strictly
correlated. A new set of intrinsic properties for a mobility model is proposed
and adopted in the analysis and comparison of MoMo with existing models. Next,
MoMo is compared with existing group mobility models in a typical 5G network
scenario, in which a set of mobile nodes cooperate in the realization of a
distributed MIMO link. Results show that MoMo leads to accurate, robust and
flexible modeling of mobility of groups of nodes in discrete event simulators,
making it suitable for the performance evaluation of networking protocols and
resource allocation algorithms in the wide range of network scenarios expected
to characterize 5G networks.Comment: 25 pages, 17 figure
Virtual Communication Stack: Towards Building Integrated Simulator of Mobile Ad Hoc Network-based Infrastructure for Disaster Response Scenarios
Responses to disastrous events are a challenging problem, because of possible
damages on communication infrastructures. For instance, after a natural
disaster, infrastructures might be entirely destroyed. Different network
paradigms were proposed in the literature in order to deploy adhoc network, and
allow dealing with the lack of communications. However, all these solutions
focus only on the performance of the network itself, without taking into
account the specificities and heterogeneity of the components which use it.
This comes from the difficulty to integrate models with different levels of
abstraction. Consequently, verification and validation of adhoc protocols
cannot guarantee that the different systems will work as expected in
operational conditions. However, the DEVS theory provides some mechanisms to
allow integration of models with different natures. This paper proposes an
integrated simulation architecture based on DEVS which improves the accuracy of
ad hoc infrastructure simulators in the case of disaster response scenarios.Comment: Preprint. Unpublishe
The Dynamics of Vehicular Networks in Urban Environments
Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) have emerged as a platform to support
intelligent inter-vehicle communication and improve traffic safety and
performance. The road-constrained, high mobility of vehicles, their unbounded
power source, and the emergence of roadside wireless infrastructures make
VANETs a challenging research topic. A key to the development of protocols for
inter-vehicle communication and services lies in the knowledge of the
topological characteristics of the VANET communication graph. This paper
explores the dynamics of VANETs in urban environments and investigates the
impact of these findings in the design of VANET routing protocols. Using both
real and realistic mobility traces, we study the networking shape of VANETs
under different transmission and market penetration ranges. Given that a number
of RSUs have to be deployed for disseminating information to vehicles in an
urban area, we also study their impact on vehicular connectivity. Through
extensive simulations we investigate the performance of VANET routing protocols
by exploiting the knowledge of VANET graphs analysis.Comment: Revised our testbed with even more realistic mobility traces. Used
the location of real Wi-Fi hotspots to simulate RSUs in our study. Used a
larger, real mobility trace set, from taxis in Shanghai. Examine the
implications of our findings in the design of VANET routing protocols by
implementing in ns-3 two routing protocols (GPCR & VADD). Updated the

Research on Wireless Multi-hop Networks: Current State and Challenges
Wireless multi-hop networks, in various forms and under various names, are
being increasingly used in military and civilian applications. Studying
connectivity and capacity of these networks is an important problem. The
scaling behavior of connectivity and capacity when the network becomes
sufficiently large is of particular interest. In this position paper, we
briefly overview recent development and discuss research challenges and
opportunities in the area, with a focus on the network connectivity.Comment: invited position paper to International Conference on Computing,
