Linear Node Movement Patterns in MANETS

MANETs are mobile, self-configuring networks of wireless mobile devices that have no fixed infrastructure configuration. Movement of the nodes affects the operation of a MANET. Because of the node movement MANETs need to rely on robust routing protocols. We focus our investigation on the impact of movement patterns on operation of a MANET. Of particular interest is linear movement patterns similar to those observed in some man-made objects. We investigate the operation of a MANET under four different linear movement patterns by simulating a MANET running the AODV routing protocol. The best results were obtained with nodes moving perpendicularly to the geographical direction of packet forwarding. Keywordsmobility models, MANET; M2ANET; ns-2; AODV
