Abstract
In this paper the impact of node communities on the ad hoc network performances is investigated. The community structures are viewed on the logical (application) level and on the physical level. They are modeled using complex network theory with which socially based mobility and communication patterns are developed. The different approaches in modeling offer the view of how the distribution of interconnections between the nodes influences the network performances. The results show that the logical interconnections have a great impact on the network performances especially in the cases when the node degree distribution follows the scale-free law.
