Link Change Rate for Mobile Wireless Networks

Mobile wireless networks have inherently dynamic topologies. In this paper, we proposed an analytical approach to drive the average link change rate expression which is a linear function of node density, transmission range, and expected relative velocity. The result is useful in calculating update rate of periodical neighbor-aware beacon online and the validity of the result is demonstrated by simulations.
