The real-life mobility model: RLMM

Abstract

The performance evaluation of mobile wireless networks requires a representation of user mobility. Mobility models are the essential part of such evaluation because they assure examples of mobile nodes movement for typical scenarios. Mobility models provide synthetic traces adjusted to user's needs. We propose a novel RLMM model that produces synthetic traces of a working human and includes clear division on working days and weekend activities. We describe the model and evaluate it using simulation. The model provides better representation of changes in human behavior on different days than the models available in the literature.
