Abstract

In order to conduct meaningful performance analysis of routing algorithms in the context of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), it is essential that the underlying mobility model on which the simulation is based reflects realistic mobility behavior. This paper addresses the robustness of the current mobility model in NS2, a network simulator that is used extensively in research institutes for the simulation of MANETs. The simulation environment was conducted on an existing building; the Inter-Minestral Committee for Foreign Aid, located at Cairo. This is to reflect the simulation results to a real environment
