Abstract: One of the main characteristics of ad hoc
networks is their mobility. In order to evaluate an ad
hoc network performance it is necessary to develop and
use mobility models that accurately represent
movements of the mobile nodes. In this paper, we
analysis various mobility models: Reference Point
Group Mobility, Random Waypoint Mobility, Freeway
Mobility and City Section Mobility on the performance of
IEEE 802.15.4 MAC ZigBee using AODV protocol in
Network Simulator (NS 2.34). The comparative
conclusions are drawn based on various performance
metrics such as Packet Delivery Ratio, data loss,
overhead, end-to-end delay and Throughput. The
simulation results show that freeway mobility model is
better than other mobility models.
Key words: PANET, Mobility Models, MAC 802.15.4,

1. Introduction
Personal Ad-Hoc Networks (PANET) is a short distance
wireless network specifically. As people use more
electronic devices, with the proliferation of peripherals, a
clear need for wireless connectivity between these devices
has emerged. When you add mobility into the mix, the
challenge becomes daunting. If the setup and
administration of a WPAN becomes simple and intuitive in
the future for the end user [1]. The technology ZigBee IEEE
802.15.4 falls under the category of Wireless Personal
Area Network (WPAN). IEEE 802.15.4 can be used to
connect devices wirelessly at a very low cost and with little
energy consumption. ZigBee, which operates on the
frequency band of 2.4 GHz and on 16 channels, can reach
transfer speeds of up to 250 Kbps with a range of about 10
meters [2]. In this paper, we focus on the impact of mobility
models on the performance of Personal Ad-Hoc Networks
(PANET). Routing protocols detect the optimum path
between the source node and destination node in a
complex network of nodes and deliver the data packets
between those nodes in an efficient manner [3]. We have
use AODV, is a mainly used for wireless network where
nodes are not stationary, on-demand routing protocol.
Routes, in AODV protocol, are established based on
minimum hop count, when it requires sending the data
from source. So called AODV routing protocol as reactive
routing protocol [4].
2. Mobility Models
Mobility model depicts the movements of the nodes inside
a network. It is essential that mobility models used in
simulating different scenarios must emulate closely the
real scenario in order to assess the MANET performance as
accurately as possible. There are many mobility models
proposed. We are going to use the following four mobility
model for our research.
2.1 Random Waypoint Mobility Model
In RWP, a specific node starts its motion from initial point
and goes towards the destination with specific speed
within simulation area. After reaching the destination,
specified node wait for some time (pause time) and then
randomly select other direction to move. The topological
situation of RWP is dependent on two parameters, pause
time and speed. If a node moves with high speed having
short pause time then the topology is said to be more
dynamic [5].

2.2 Reference Point Group Mobility Model
(RPGM)
In RPGM, each group has a logical center (group leader)
that determines the group's motion behavior. Initially,
each member of the group is uniformly distributed in the
neighborhood of the group leader. Subsequently, at every
instant, each node has a speed and direction that is derived
by randomly deviating from that of the group leader.
RPGM can be used in military battlefield communications
[6].
Figure -2: Movements of three MNs using the RPGM model
2.3 Freeway Mobility Model
This model emulates the motion behavior of mobile nodes
on a freeway. It can be used in exchanging traffic status or
tracking a vehicle on a freeway. Each mobile node is
restricted to its lane on the freeway. The velocity of mobile
node is temporally dependent on its previous velocity. In
this model, we use maps [7].
Figure -3: freeway mobility model
2.4 City Section Mobility Model
The City Section mobility model puts constraints on the
movement of a node on a city street grid, constructed of
horizontal and vertical streets [8]. Each street on the grid
has two lanes for each direction (North and South
direction for vertical streets, East and West for horizontal
streets). The mobile node is allowed to move along the grid
of horizontal and vertical streets on the map [9].
Figure -4: Maps used in city section mobility model
3. Simulation Models
The MANET network simulation, which is used to analyze
the performance of mobility model in IEEE802.15.4 MAC
protocols by using AODV routing protocol, consists of 50
mobile nodes. That mobility model are; Random Waypoint
mobility model, Reference Point Group mobility model,
Freeway mobility model and City Section mobility model.
For our simulations, we used the ns-2.34 network
simulator and linked to matlab to draw the performance
figures. The simulated performance results obtained using
different performance metrics such as throughput, packet
delivery ratio (PDR), routing overhead, end-to-end delay,
and loss. Throughput is the average rate of successful data
packets received at destination. End-to-End Delay
represents a delay of a specific packet transmitted from
source to destination by calculating the difference between
send times and received times. Packet Deliver Ratio (PDR),
is defined as the ratio between the amount of packets sent
by the source and received by the destination [10]. Routing
overhead, is the total number of control or routing packets
generated by routing protocol during the simulation.
Packet Loss, occurs when one or more packets fail to reach
to their destination [11]. The following table shows the
values of the various parameters used during simulation to
evaluate the performance of mobility models in ZigBee
network using IEEE802.15.4 MAC protocol.

4. Results and Discussion
We simulated four mobility models to evaluate the
performance of IEEE802.15.4 using some performance
metrics, the results of simulation we obtained are in the
following figures.

Figure-4 shows the mobility models performance in
Wireless personal area network in terms of throughput in
pause time 20, 40, 60, 80 under AODV routing protocol.
The throughput begin with a high value when pause time
International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395 -0056

20sec and decreases when increasing the pause time until
it reaches lowest value at pause time 80sec. Observes that
city section has better throughput compared with the rest
of the models, because the throughput in pause time 20s
up to 210Kbyte and when pause time 80s up to 53Kbyte.
Figure-5 shows the mobility models performance in
wireless personal area network in terms of average end-
to-end (e2e) delay of data packets. It observes that the
delay at the pause time 20sec has a high value for all
models, because the time it takes the packet to arrive to
the destination be large, and at the pause time 80sec the
delay be lowest.
Figure-6 shows the mobility models performance in
wireless personal area network in terms of overhead,
under AODV routing protocol. The overhead is decreased
with increase pause time, better performance is shown by
RWP.
Figure-7 shows the mobility models performance in
wireless personal area network in terms of PDR, under
AODV routing protocol. Observes that freeway mobility
model has better as compare to other mobility models, and
also it is observed that among all the four mobility models
PDR in city section is the worst because in city section
model nodes move in forward and backward direction,
right or left and directions are perpendicular to each other
and the velocity of a node is restricted by the velocity of
the preceding node on the same lane also when two mobile
nodes diverge the probability of breaking the traffic signal
increases.
Figure-8 shows the mobility models performance in
wireless personal area network in terms of loss, under
AODV routing protocol. It observes that the loss at the
pause time 20sec has a highest value for all models. When
the pause time is increase the loss is decreased. From the
figure, it has clearly seen that the city section mobility has
highest loss.
5. Conclusion and Future Work
This work evaluates the effect of four mobility models such
as Reference Point Group Mobility, Random Waypoint
Mobility, Freeway Mobility and City Section Mobility on
the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 zig bee ad-hoc network,
using AODV routing protocol. From the simulation results,
we conclude that the performance of freeway mobility
model is the best in terms of PDR when compared with the
rest of the models. City section has highest throughput and
lowest end-to-end delay. For the loss of data, we find that
the three models has the same result which is lowest loss
and the city section mobility has highest loss. In future the
performance of MAC 802.15.4 ZigBee network could be
evaluated by change in traffic pattern.

Routing overhead, is the total number of control or routing packets generated by routing protocol during the simulation. Packet Loss, occurs when one or more packets fail to reach to their destination [11]. The following table shows the values of the various parameters used during simulation to evaluate the performance of mobility models in ZigBee network using IEEE802.15.4 MAC protocol.

Observes that city section has better throughput compared with the rest of the models, because the throughput in pause time 20s up to 210Kbyte and when pause time 80s up to 53Kbyte. Figure-5 shows the mobility models performance in wireless personal area network in terms of average end- to-end (e2e) delay of data packets. It observes that the delay at the pause time 20sec has a high value for all models, because the time it takes the packet to arrive to the destination be large, and at the pause time 80sec the delay be lowest. Figure-6 shows the mobility models performance in wireless personal area network in terms of overhead, under AODV routing protocol. The overhead is decreased with increase pause time, better performance is shown by RWP. Figure-7 shows the mobility models performance in wireless personal area network in terms of PDR, under AODV routing protocol. Observes that freeway mobility model has better as compare to other mobility models, and also it is observed that among all the four mobility models PDR in city section is the worst because in city section model nodes move in forward and backward direction, right or left and directions are perpendicular to each other and the velocity of a node is restricted by the velocity of the preceding node on the same lane also when two mobile nodes diverge the probability of breaking the traffic signal increases. Figure-8 shows the mobility models performance in wireless personal area network in terms of loss, under AODV routing protocol. It observes that the loss at the pause time 20sec has a highest value for all models. When the pause time is increase the loss is decreased. From the figure, it has clearly seen that the city section mobility has highest loss. 5. Conclusion and Future Work This work evaluates the effect of four mobility models such as Reference Point Group Mobility, Random Waypoint Mobility, Freeway Mobility and City Section Mobility on the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 zig bee ad-hoc network, using AODV routing protocol. From the simulation results, we conclude that the performance of freeway mobility model is the best in terms of PDR when compared with the rest of the models. City section has highest throughput and lowest end-to-end delay. For the loss of data, we find that the three models has the same result which is lowest loss and the city section mobility has highest loss. In future the performance of MAC 802.15.4 ZigBee network could be evaluated by change in traffic pattern.
