Mobility Scenario Analysis
Kevin Curran, Computer Lecturer - Magee College
BonnMotion
BonnMotion is Java software which creates and analyses mobility scenarios. It is developed within the Communication Systems group at the Institute of Computer Science IV of the University of Bonn, Germany, where it serves as a tool for the investigation of mobile ad hoc network characteristics. The scenarios can also be exported for the network simulator ns-2 and GlomoSim/QualNet. Several mobility models are supported, namely
- the Random Waypoint model,
- the Gauss-Markov model,
- the Manhattan Grid model and
- the Reference Point Group Mobility model.

and you can download BonnMotion v1.1 here.
Task
Visit the BonnMotion website above, read the documentation. Attempt to download and install the software. Run the sample scenarios given and then attempt to recreate mobile scenarios for wireless devices delivering multimedia in adverse conditions over various wirless networking topologies.
