Fast Mobility Model Prototyping in Network Simulations Using Game Engine

Abstract

Mobility modeling is an important aspect of network simulation. At the same time, there are currently no efficient approaches for this task. We propose a fast prototyping solution of mobility models for network simulation. Our implementation consists of three parts: the steps to build macro and micro mobility models using game engine, a middle ware to integrate mobility modeling application with network simulators, and two experimental mobility models using Point of Interests. Both qualitative feedback and quantitative evaluation results show effectiveness and efficiency of our solution.
