Simulation of Random Waypoint Mobility Model Using Coloured Petri Nets

Abstract

Due to dynamic nature of ad-hoc network and in order to simulate a network protocol, it is essential to use a mobility model that represents how the mobile node utilizes the given protocol. Selection of mobility model can determine whether the proposed protocol will be useful or not. This paper introduces random waypoint mobility model for describing simulation of mobile nodes distribution within then network. Before simulation, UML (Unified modeling language) modeling is done to describe the structural view of a model and also for error correction.The simulation process has been done with the help of hierarchical coloured petri net which is extension of normal coloured petri nets.
