Indoor mobility modelling

For the simulative and emulative performance evaluation of tactical indoor communication systems modeling mobility is an important task. Typical assumptions are a uniformly distribution of destinations, shortest paths movement without obstacles, and randomly chosen speeds. These assumptions do not hold for tactical indoor scenarios. In this paper, we introduce a new rule-based indoor mobility model for tactical scenarios. We show that the realistic modeling has a great impact on the evaluation of routing protocols. Furthermore, we demonstrate that even complex movements can be represented by small rulesets.
