Performance evaluation of mobile ad-hoc networks based on mobility models with fuzzy logic

In order to simulate protocols in mobile ad-hoc networks, using a mobility model that accurately represents the motion of the nodes that finnaly has been used in given protocol, is essential. Only in this case, it could be determined whether the proposed protocol would be useful to run or not. Choosing a mobility model can effect significantly on evaluating network protocol performance. Each metrics can affect on routing protocol. Therefore, this paper described a summary of mobility models and performance evaluation based on the network and then with fuzzy some mobility metrics, we try to find an optimal path to rout algorithm. Results of experiments show that the proposed approaches significantly efficient in ad-hoc network performance.
