A computer program was developed for the simulation of mobility and tractive performance of tracked off-road vehicles. Input parameters for the simulation involve those characterizing track and power drive line of a vehicle and soil conditions upon which the vehicle operates. The simulation predicts tractive performance in terms of soil thrust and motion resistance of track device and mobility performance in terms of the maximum speed, time-distance and time-speed relation that a vehicle can obtain under the given soil conditions. It also determines whether or not the vehicle can move in those conditions. An example of performing simulation was presented and its results showed that the performance prediction was reasonably in a good agreement with the published data.

In recent years, a number of missions have been planned and conducted worldwide on the planets such as Mars, which involves the unmanned robotic exploration with the use of rover. The rover is an important system for unmanned planetary exploration, performing the locomotion and sample collection and analysis at the exploration target of the planetary surface designated by the operator. This study investigates the development of mobility system for the rover ground model necessary to the planetary surface exploration for the benefit of future planetary exploration mission in Korea. First, the requirements for the rover mobility system are summarized and a new mechanism is proposed for a stable performance on rough terrain which consists of the passive suspension system with 8 wheeled double 4-bar linkage (DFBL), followed by the performance evaluation for the mechanism of the mobility system based on the shape design and simulation. The proposed mobility system DFBL was compared with the Rocker-Bogie suspension system of US space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration and 8 wheeled mobility system CRAB8 developed in Switzerland, using the simulation to demonstrate the superiority with respect to the stability of locomotion. On the basis of the simulation results, a general system configuration was proposed and designed for the rover manufacture.

Mobility Model has drawn more and more attentions since its critical role in Mobile Wireless Networks performance evaluation. This paper analyzes the mobility patterns in the catastrophe rescue scenario, and proposes the Random Waypoint with Base Point mobility model to model these characteristics. We mathematically analyze the speed and spatial stationary distributions of the nodes and derive explicit expressions for the one dimensional case. In order to keep the stationary distribution through the entire simulation procedure, we provide strategies to initialize the speed, location and destination of the nodes at the beginning of the simulation. The simulation results verify the derivations and the proposed methods in this paper. This work gives a deep understanding of the properties of the Random Waypoint with Base Point mobility model and such understanding is necessary to avoid misinterpretation of the simulation results. The conclusions are of practical value for performance analysis of mobile wireless networks, especially for the catastrophe rescue scenario.

We can categorize mobility two main fields in IP environment. If Mobile IP manages macro mobility, Cellular IP deal with micro mobility. For seamless connection, it is major problem to reduce packet loss in the network layer during handoff. This paper will introduce a scheme which reduces packet loss during micro mobility which use indirect handoff mechanism in Cellular IP, and will verify the efficiency of that scheme by computer simulation.

무선 이동 통신망에서 위치관리에 대한 성능분석을 위해서 사용자의 이동 패턴의 모의실험 방안에 대한 연구가 요구되고 있다. 이러한 목적에 따라 본 논문은 무선 이동 망에서의 이동패턴을 갖는 사용자의 이동성 모델을 제안한다. 이동 사용자들은 임의적으로 움직이기도 하지만 특정 시간대에 규칙적인 이동을 반복하는 특성도 함께 가지고 있다. 따라서 제안된 모델은 사용자의 시간에 연관된 이동을 묘사하도록 구성하였다. 이 모델은 지점 이동, 타임 슬롯에 대한 이동확률, 이동에 대한 지형적 경로 등으로 구성된다. 또한 임의적인 이동과 규칙적인 이동 특성이 혼합된 경우에 대한 모의실험 방안도 함께 제안된다. 모의실험 결과는 의도했던 이동패턴을 갖는 이동 시나리오를 생성할 수 있음을 보여준다.

In mobile opportunistic networks (MONs), human-carried mobile devices such as PDAs and smartphones, with the capability of short range wireless communications, could form various intermittent contacts due to the mobility of humans, and then could use the contact opportunity to communicate with each other. The dynamic changes of the network topology are closely related to the human mobility patterns. In this paper, we propose a social motivation-aware mobility model for MONs, which explains the basic laws of human mobility from the psychological point of view. We analyze and model social motivations of human mobility mainly in terms of expectancy value theory and affiliation motivation. Furthermore, we introduce a new concept of geographic functional cells, which not only incorporates the influence of geographical constraints on human mobility but also simplifies the complicated configuration of simulation areas. Lastly, we validate our model by simulating three real scenarios and comparing it with reality traces and other synthetic traces. The simulation results show that our model has a better match in the performance evaluation when applying social-based forwarding protocols like BUBBULE.

Objectives In regard to the social competition hypothesis, depression is viewed as an involuntary defeat strategy. A previous study has demonstrated that adaptation in microenvironments can result in a wide range of behavioural patterns including defense activation disorders. Using a simulation model with evolutionary ecological agents, we explore how the fitness of various defence activation traits has changed over time in different environments with high and low social mobility. Methods The Evolutionary Ecological Model of Defence Activation Disorder, which is based on the Marginal Value Theorem, was used to examine changes in relative fitness for individuals with defensive activation disorders after adjusting for social mobility. Results Our study examined the effects of social mobility on fitness by varying the d-values, a measure of depression in the model. With a decline in social mobility, the level of fitness of individuals with high levels of defense activation decreased. We gained insight into the evolutionary influence of varying levels of social mobility on individuals' degrees of depression. In the context of a highly stratified society, the results support a mismatch hypothesis which states that high levels of defence are detrimental. Conclusions Despite the fact that niche specialization in habitats composed of multiple microenvironments can result in diverse levels of defensive activation being evolutionary strategies for stability, decreased social mobility may lead to a decrease in fitness of individuals with highly activated defence modules. There may be a reason behind the epidemic of depression in modern society.

In mobile ad-hoc networks(MANETs), nodes are mobile and network topology changes very frequently. The mobility of nodes does affect the system performance. There has been considerable attention on the mobility models, however, most work is confined to the simulation or test-bed. In this paper, we propose an analytical method to evaluate the performances of MANETs such as the average radio range dwell time of mobile nodes, link holding time, and transmission failure probability considering the node's mobility. In the proposed model, MANETs consist of the multi-hop and multicasting routing paths. A simulation is done to validate our proposed analytical model.

Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network-based mobility support protocol and it does not require Mobile Nodes (MNs) to be involved in the mobility support signaling. In the case when multiple interfaces are active in an MN simultaneously, each data flow can be dynamically allocated to and redirected between different access networks to adapt to the dynamically changing network status and to balance the workload. Such a flow redistribution control is called "flow mobility". In the existing PMIPv6-based flow mobility support, although the MN's logical interface can solve the well-known problems of flow mobility in a heterogeneous network, some missing procedures, such as an MN-derived flow handover, make PMIPv6-based flow mobility incomplete. In this paper, an enhanced flow mobility support is proposed for actualizing the flow mobility support in PMIPv6. The proposed scheme is also based on the MN's logical interface, which hides the physical interfaces from the network layer and above. As new functional modules, the flow interface manager is placed at the MN's logical interface and the flow binding manager in the Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) is paired with the MN's flow interface manager. They manage the flow bindings, and select the proper access technology to send packets. In this paper, we provide the complete flow mobility procedures which begin with the following three different triggering cases: the MN's new connection/disconnection, the LMA's decision, and the MN's request. Simulation using the ns-3 network simulator is performed to verify the proposed procedures and we show the network throughput variation caused by the network offload using the proposed procedures.

기존 이동성 관리 기법들은 IP 기반의 코어 네트워크와 다양한 접근 네트워크를 수용하는 차세대 네트워크에서 활용하기에는 부족한 점이 많다. 현재 ETRI에서는 차세대 네트워크에서의 이동성 관리에 관한 ITU-T 요구사항을 만족시키는 AIMS (Access Independent Mobility Service) 시스템을 개발 중에 있다. AIMS 시스템은 차세대 네트워크에서 이종망간의 이동성 관리에 우수한 성능을 지닌다. 한편, 최근에 많이 활용되는 사용자 단말은 여러 개의 통신 인터페이스를 지니고 있어서 Wi-Fi와 3G와 같은 서로 다른 여러 네트워크에 동시에 접속할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 AIMS 시스템에서 이동성 지원을 받는 단말들이 여러 네트워크에 동시에 접속할 경우 접속 네트워크 기술 간에 선택적으로 데이터 플로우를 이동시킬 수 있는 플로우 이동성(flow mobility) 기법을 설계하고 NS-3 시뮬레이션 구현을 통하여 제안 기법을 검증한 결과를 제시한다. 또한, 시뮬레이션 수행 결과를 통하여 제안 기법이 다양한 접근 네트워크를 지닌 이동 네트워크에서 네트워크의 지원을 보다 효율적으로 활용하게 함을 입증한다.
