| Abstract: | A platform for the simulation of mobility functions (e.g. protocols, application architectures) is presented. This platform, named RMPG, is based on the assumption that real humans exhibit considerable spatial and temporal regularity in their moves. We base our simulation environment on the random way‐point algorithm incorporated in the ns tool. We review other approaches, simulation tools and mobility models. Through the RMPG, that has been implemented in Java, we performed a series of simulations by considering a path prediction algorithm as a mobility function scheme. We present our results.
