Working day movement model

ABSTRACT

Abstract movement models, such as Random Waypoint, do not capture reliably the properties of movement in the real life scenarios. We present and analyse a movement model for delay-tolerant network simulations that is able to produce inter-contact time and contact time distributions that follow closely the ones found in the traces from the real-world measurement experiments. We validate the movement model using the ONE simulator.
