Abstract
The question of whether mobility is a blessing (Burleigh et al., IEEE Communications Magazine, 41:128–136, 2003; Capkun et al., Proc. of ACM MobiHoc, 2003) or a curse (Zhang et al., Proc. of ACM MobiHoc, 2005) to ad hoc networks has attracted a significant amount of research interest. Some researchers argue that mobility is a hurdle, as it makes the routing, naming and addressing, and location services more challenging. Some new mechanisms such as Zhang et al. (Proc. of ACM MobiHoc, 2005) have been proposed to tackle the problems caused by node mobility in MANETs. Others argue that far?from being a hurdle, mobility can be exploited to increase the system performance. Carefully designed protocols may exploit the mobility to obtain advantages in many important aspects of ad hoc networks, such as network capacity, security, and information dissemination.
This chapter surveys the impact of mobility in ad hoc networks from a wide perspective. We refrain from going into minute details of mobility, and instead?head for giving a broader picture. The goal of this chapter is to endorse new approaches to employ mobility in ad hoc networks based on the current situation and show why mobility can help in many different aspects (Cooper et?al., Proc. of IEEE MASCOTS, 2005; Camp et al., Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing, 2(5):483–502, 2002).
