On Simulation Modeling of Information Dissemination Systems in Mobile Environments

In this paper, we propose dynamic discrete-event based models for information dissemination systems in both single cell and multiple cell mobile environments. We demonstrate that this novel approach can flexibly model channel borrowing and hand-off scenarios. Finally, we implement two simulation systems based on the single cell model. Our simulations show that broadcast channels can effectively alleviate traffic overload in a cell.
