Abstract

The ad hoc network liveness property disallows permanent partitioning to occur by requiring (informally) that from each time moment reliable direct connectivity must emerge between some nodes from every (non-empty) subset of hosts and its complementary set within some finite, but unknown, connectivity time interval I. An analysis of the connectivity interval is important because its finite values legitimise the liveness property assumption. Moreover, since the connectivity interval demonstrates a crucial factor of message dissemination time in ad hoc networks, its distribution significantly affects the efficiency of all protocols based on the liveness property. Therefore, in this paper, we present the distribution of the connectivity interval determined experimentally by simulation of several entity and group mobility models and real-life GPS traces of mobile nodes. We also conduct a statistical analysis of received results and show how the connectivity interval correlates with other network parameters.
