Popis: The importance of accurate mobility models for mobile ad hoc network (MANET) evaluation is widely recognized in literature. Existing MANET mobility models can be generally classified into two categories: entity and group mobility models. The latter is of particular interest as group motion occurs commonly in scenarios where MANETs are deployed, such as firefighting and battlefield operations. This paper provides a systematic and critical review of recent group mobility models proposed for MANETs. It also discusses the potential of using or adapting these mobility models for other emerging network types.
