Mobility Models for Next Generation Wireless Networks 
Ad Hoc, Vehicular and Mesh Networks

Mobility Models for Next Generation Wireless Networks: Ad
Hoc, Vehicular and Mesh Networks provides the reader with
an overview of mobility modelling, encompassing both theoretical
and practical aspects related to the challenging mobility modelling
task. It also:

* Provides up-to-date coverage of mobility models for next
generation wireless networks

* Offers an in-depth discussion of the most representative
mobility models for major next generation wireless network
application scenarios, including WLAN/mesh networks, vehicular
networks, wireless sensor networks, and opportunistic networks

* Demonstrates the practices for designing effective
protocol/applications for next generation wireless networks

* Includes case studies showcasing the importance of properly
understanding fundamental mobility model properties in wireless
network performance evaluation

Dr. Paolo Santi, Istituto di Informatica e Telematica del CNR, Italy
Dr. Santi received the Laura Degree and Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Pisa in 1994 and 2000, respectively. He is part of the research staff at the Istituto di Informatica e Telematica del CNR in Pisa, Italy, since 2001, first as a Researcher and now as a Senior Researcher.

During his career, he visited Georgia Institute of Technology in 2001 and Carnegie Mellon University in 2003. His research interests include fault-tolerant computing in multiprocessor systems (during Ph D studies), and, more recently, the investigation of fundamental properties of wireless multihop networks such as connectivity, topology control, lifetime, capacity, mobility modelling, and cooperation issues.
