Abstract

Modeling and simulation of mobile devices, like cellular phones, is a challenging task can be better accomplished by mapping the structural changes occurring in the physical system into the corresponding representation. In particular, mobile devices change their interconnections due to displacement, and communication links need to be dynamically created and destroyed according to the physical vicinity. We consider here a dynamic representation for the structure of the real system where changes are reflected into model topology in order to obtain concise and intuitive models. In this paper we analyze an idealized system of mobile cellular phones and the requirements for topology adaptation. This study is based on the Heterogeneous Flow Systems Specification (HFSS), a modular modeling formalism designed to represent hybrid systems with time-variant topologies. This formalism enables the representation of mobile systems since it can describe both the discrete events involved in topology variation, and the continuous displacement of cellular phones. In this paper we demonstrate the advantages of using HFSS in modeling mobile phones systems.
