The Impact of Group Mobility on the Optimization of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Routing Protocols

Overview This paper presents an analysis of the behavior of a routing protocol when group mobility is involved. The authors concentrate on group mobility because there is a growing attention on the development and evaluation of MANET's approach applied to Personal Area Networks (PANs), especially based on Bluetooth technology. The paper proposes four different group mobility models and describes a mobility pattern generator called grcmob to be used with the ns-2 simulator. The authors compare the behavior of a classical reactive routing protocol, the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol and they perform a thorough evaluation of its behavior using as a reference the behavior obtained with the random waypoint mobility model.
