Abstract
In this paper we describe our analysis of a real trace and propose a mobility model. The trace data we used for this study was collected from a military experiment carried out in Lakehurst, N.J., U.S.A. The structure of these entities in the trace is novel, say layered and heterogeneous—some nodes moved on the ground whilst some hovered in the sky. Evaluation results show our mobility model well and truly captures some aspects of the spatial and temporal characteristics of the real traces. This mobility model can be used to generate synthetic traces with different travel schedules. Such experiments are costly to be realized in real world scenarios
