Abstract
MANETs are self-configuring infrastructure-less characterized by changing
topology and intermittent connectivity. In these networks, nodes are able to
move freely and change their locations due to dynamic nature. Because of
mobility, nodes can be controlled and paused at any time based on the change
of connections in the network. This report proposes two strategies: Following
Nodes and Controlling the Random Waypoint Model. It also intends to
show the effects of controlled mobility by simulating a variety of scenarios
for MANET in the network simulator NS-2. Performance comparison is also
conducted over many cases. Results illustrate that the performance of the
node movement varies across different node densities, node distances, and
node statuses.
