Abstract

We present a mathematical model to analyse the establishment and maintenance of communication between mobile agents. We assume that the agents move through a fixed environment modelled by a motion graph, and are able to communicate if they are at distance at most d. As the agents move randomly, we analyse the evolution in time of the connectivity between a set of w agents, asymptotically for a large number N of nodes, when w also grows large, and for different values of d. The particular topologies of the environment we study in this paper are the cycle and the toroidal grid.
