Experimental validation of a 2-level social mobility model in opportunistic networks

The aim of this paper is to validate a synthetic trace generator by means of a local campus experiment based on opportunistic networking. We employed pocket trace recorder (PTR) devices in order to explore human mobility and to make real connectivity available for reproducing its statistical features by artificial model simulations.
