Mobile Conductance and Gossip-based Information Spreading in Mobile Networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
In this paper, we propose a general analytical framework for information spreading in mobile networks based on a new performance metric, mobile conductance, which allows us to separate the details of mobility models from the study of mobile spreading time. We derive a general result for the information spreading time in mobile networks in terms of this

Using Location-Based Social Networks to Validate Human Mobility and Relationships Models [PDF]

Proc. 2012 IEEE/ACM Int. Conf. Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining, Istanbul, Turkey, August 26, 2012, pp. 1247-1253, 2012
We propose to use social networking data to validate mobility models for pervasive mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) and delay tolerant networks (DTNs). The Random Waypoint (RWP) and Erdos-Renyi (ER) models have been a popular choice among researchers for generating mobility traces of nodes and relationships between them.
