Abstract :
In this letter we propose a mobility model using preferential attachment via objects called attractors. We introduce a new kind of mobility we call Gathering Mobility, where nodes, although independent, exhibit a collective behavior. We show that this model, called Pragma, achieves a scale-free spatial distribution in the situation of population growth.
