In addition, it describes “general-purpose” mobility models (i.e., models that are not tailored to specific application scenarios), including both theoretical and practical aspects. Furthermore, the author explores mobility models tailored to specific application scenarios of next generation wireless networks. In particular, the author considers WLAN\/mesh networks, vehicular networks, wireless sensor networks, and opportunistic networks. For each considered application scenario, the book briefly presents the state-of-the-art and prospective of the corresponding technology as well as a representative set of mobility models. Finally, the book offers two case studies, which illustrate exemplary situations in which a deep understanding of mobility modeling can be used to devise a “perfect” wireless network simulation methodology (Case study 1), and to characterize fundamental properties of message routing in opportunistic networks, also including social human behavior (Case study 2).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers an in-depth discussion of the most representative mobility models for major next generation wireless network application scenarios, including WLAN\/mesh networks, vehicular networks, wireless sensor networks, and opportunistic networks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDemonstrates the practices for designing effective protocol\/applications for next generation wireless networks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes case studies showcasing the importance of properly understanding fundamental mobility model properties in wireless network performance evaluation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMobility Models for Next Generation Wireless Networks\u003c\/i\u003e will be an invaluable guide for researchers and engineers in the field of wireless networking, and graduate students in computer science and engineering.
