Abstract :
We use equilibrium point analysis to analyze the effect of terminal mobility on the performance of PRMA in a cellular environment. We derive expressions for PRMA´s throughput and packet dropping probability, in the presence of terminal mobility. We employ a path enumeration technique based on Mason´s (1960) gain formula for signal flow graphs to evaluate the packet dropping probability. We present results showing the marginal effect that terminal mobility has on PRMA´s performance
