SGER-Explorying Sociological Orbits in Mobile Users' Mobility Pattern

该项目正在探索一种名为“社会学轨道”的MANET和WLAN用户宏观层面移动性的新概念。这个概念是基于这样一种观察，即手机用户的移动通常遵循一个部分确定（和重复）的“轨道”模式，涉及一组相对较小的地理区域，称为“枢纽”，这是一些社会利益。这一概念正在使用现有的移动跟踪数据进行验证，如果证明是正确的，将为manet带来更具可扩展性和更高效的路由协议。这一努力将对移动自组织网络的基本假设以及研究生教育产生影响

This project is exploring a novel concept of macro-level mobility of MANET and WLAN users called "Sociological Orbits". This concept is based on the observation that mobile users' movements often obey a partially deterministic (and repetitive) "orbital" pattern involving a set of relatively small geographic regions called "hubs", which are of some social interest. This concept is being validated using existing mobility trace data, and if proven true, will lead to more scalable and efficient routing protocols for MANETs. This effort will have impact on the fundamental assumptions of mobile ad hoc networking as well as on graduate student education
