✦ Synopsis

A highly dynamic topology is a distinguishing feature and challenge of a mobile ad hoc network. Links between nodes are created and broken, as the nodes move within the network. This node mobility affects not only the source and/or destination, as in a conventional wireless network, but also intermediate nodes, due to the networkΓ•s multihop nature. The resulting routes can be extremely volatile, making successful ad hoc routing dependent on efficiently reacting to these topology changes.

In order to better understand this environment, a number of characteristics have been studied concerning the links and routes that make up an ad hoc network. Several network parameters are examined, including number of nodes, network dimensions, and radio transmission range, as well as mobility parameters for maximum speed and wait times. In addition to suggesting guidelines for the evaluation of ad hoc networks, the results reveal several properties that should be considered in the design and optimization of MANET protocols.

## Abstract By exploiting non‐random behaviors for the mobility patterns that mobile users exhibit, we can predict the future state of network topology and perform route reconstruction proactively in a timely manner. Moreover, by using the predicted information on the network topology, we can elimi

This paper explores a model for the operation of an ad hoc mobile network. The model incorporates incentives for users to act as transit nodes on multi-hop paths and to be rewarded with their own ability to send traffic. The paper explores consequences of the model by means of fluid-level simulation
