Traffic dynamics has always been a research hotspot of complex networks. In this letter, dynamical networks in which the nodes are moving with limited buffer size are studied. We propose an adaptive routing strategy where Euclidean distance and node load are combined by a tunable parameter. The packet loss and traffic congestion can be observed in our model due to limited buffer size. Traffic congestion will occur unless the tunable parameter is in a critical interval. We mainly focus on the impact of the buffer size on traffic congestion and obtain four different traffic states: partial-, short-, no-and long-congestion state. Moreover, a phenomenon similar to the Braess' paradox can be observed in our model. We also find that the higher the node speed, the worse the traffic capacity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
