A new mobility model for performance evaluation of future mobile communication systems

Investigating the performance of the new upcoming third and fourth generation mobile communication systems the mobility behavior of the subscribers has to be taken into account. So far mainly simple mobility models are used, leading to high risk of false or too optimistic results. Hence, a more realistic new mobility model is proposed where local as well as temporal properties can be regarded. Thus, it becomes possible to model typical topologies like shopping streets and campus areas. Consequently, more realistic results are obtained, needed for performance evaluation and planning of mobile communication systems.
