Abstract

We present statistical models to accurately evaluate the distribution of the lifetime of wireless links in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) in which nodes move randomly within constrained areas. We show that link lifetime can be computed through a two-state Markov model and further apply the computed statistics to the optimization of segmentation schemes of an information stream. Summarizing all these results, we further provide a comprehensive analysis on throughput, delay, and storage requirements for MANETs with restricted node mobility.
