A 3D signal obstruction model for realistic mobility models in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
The study of mobile ad hoc networks depends on understanding
protocols from simulations before applying them in a real-world
setting. The production of a real-world environment within which
an ad hoc network can be formed among a set of nodes requires
the development of a realistic, generic, and comprehensive
mobility model to replace random models. Realistic mobility
models consist of three sub-models. One of these sub-model is
signal obstruction sub-model. Realistic mobility model have
previously been proposed and include the Obstacle Mobility
Model and the Pathway Mobility Model. These models consider
2D pathways and obstacles that constrain node movements and
their signals. In this paper, a new signal obstruction sub-model is
proposed that can be used in all realistic mobility models.
Proposed model can consider all obstacles of environment in 3D
and simulate obstruction of the signals by 3D obstacles.
Simulation results show that the 3D obstacles can affect the other
parameters of MANET.
