Visualization of Spatial Distribution of Random Waypoint Mobility Models

Abstract

In multi-hop wireless network simulation, mobility model is one of the crucial factors affecting the performance of networks. This paper aims to analyze the spatial distribution of Random Waypoint mobility models with the progress of time. Additionally, we study the network performance of a random-based mobility model. The results from the evaluation show the uniform node distribution of Random Waypoint model in sparse network environment. In fact, we observe that nodes tend to be clustered in the middle with more number of nodes and progress of time. On the performance evaluation, the results show that Random Waypoint gain moderately higher delivery ratio than Random Walk and Random Direction models.
