A lift based mobility model for short range link state assessment in Ad hoc networks

Abstract

Using 802.11b as a bearer this paper presents a simple one dimensional mobility model for the evaluation of fall-back communications protocols in medium range point to point communications systems. The technique provides link state data and is based on radio communication between carriages in a lift. Example throughputs for 802.11b are presented. Applications are Ad-hoc networks and in particular machine to machine radio propagation and assessment of link state assess probabilities in ad-hoc.
