Design of Movement Scenarios for Aircraft Ad Hoc Networks

Since current popular simulators do not provide the simulation environments for aircraft ad hoc networks, it is strongly required to extend the current simulators by adding several elements such as mobility model, type of node and so on to conduct research in the area. In this paper, we propose how to design the realistic mobility scenarios for aircraft ad hoc network. Unlike previous approach based on mathematical equation, it relies on the flight simulator which is used to train pilot. By using of flight simulator, it can generate more realistic mobility model because it can describe accurate dynamics of aircraft. Moreover, user interface of the proposed software is also presented.
