Abstract
A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes forming a self-configuring network without using any existing infrastructure. Since MANETs are not currently deployed on a large scale, research in this area is mostly simulation based. Among other simulation parameters, the mobility model plays a very important role in determining the protocol performance in MANET. Thus, it is essential to study and analyze various mobility models and their effect on MANET protocols. In this paper we introduce a new framework for simulation of mobility models in mobile Ad-Hoc networks. This simulator can generate mobility traces in various mobility models. The mobility traces can be customized for different network simulators using XML and text output formats. User friendly graphical interface and batch processing ability makes our simulator one of the most efficient and useful mobility simulators in this field of research. We also propose some new features and parameters in mobility models to make the behavior of our simulator supported mobility models more similar to real world mobile node motions and fix some problems in last proposed methods to generate mobility models.
