Urban-Areas based Mobility Model for Wireless Network Simulations

This study proposes a novel mobility model that adopts and combines different mobile patterns to simulate people´s complex movement behaviors in urban areas, including driving and walking. This study also constructs a geographic topology to restrict the mobile node´s type and moving path, namely an urban road structure. The simulation results reveal that the environment factors, including spatial constraints and speed limits, may cause significant impact on the network performance.
