Abstract: | This paper proposes a Markov model of link connectivity for mobile ad hoc networks. Under a random behavior, the model provides a unified approach to describe many different mobility models including entity mobility models and group mobility models. Using the model, we can predict the time dependence of link connectivity, and estimate a settling time for which node movements are considered in a transient state. We verify the model with the simulation results of four different mobility models using a global connectivity and a link duration distribution.

Hwang received the B.S. degree in Control and Instrumentation Engineering from Korea University, Korea in 1998. He received the M.S. degreeand the Ph.D.degree in Electrical Engineering at POSTECH, Korea in 2000 and 2006, respectively.His research interests include intelligence controls and computational intelligence for multi-objective optimization problems. He is working on multimedia communication as a senior researcher at Korea Telecom since 2006. Dongsoo Stephen Kim received the B.S. degree from Korean University in 1987, the M.S. degree in computer science from the University of Texas in 1994, and the Ph.D. degree in computer science and engineering from the University of Minnesota in 1998. During 1986–2002, he was a Research Associate at Electronic and Telecommunication Research Institute, Taejon, Korea. In 1998–2000, he was a project manager at Megaxess Inc., Germantown, Maryland. He joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, IUPUI in 2000.
