Abstract

The supervision of industrial processes requires the exchange of information in real time between users and control systems. Users may be moving around a working area and need to consult information to supervise a particular process. Therefore, it is important to study the characteristics and stability of the paths to determine which services can be offered. In this paper, the effect of mobility on duration and stability of the links in an ad hoc network is analysed using stochastic activity networks. The ad hoc network is made up of six mobile nodes where the routing protocol is AODV. This study shows the path average lifetime which enables the evaluation of which type of services can be offered by the network.
