Simulation ofa Load Balancing Routing Protocol Chapter 3<br />

direction and speed. But since nodes move towards the boundaries and pause at the<br />

boundaries, the average hop count between node pairs is higher than the average hop<br />

count in simulations using other mobility models. Network partitions also occur<br />

more frequently [DaviesOO].<br />

The simulation results discussed in this chapter are based on simulations using the<br />

original Random Waypoint Mobility Model, since it was not necessary to ensure that<br />

nodes had a constant number of neighbours and the periodic increase and decrease in<br />

the average number of neighbours could actually help to demonstrate the robustness<br />

of the routing protocol.<br />
