Mobility of users significantly impacts performance of a mobile
ad-hoc network. Most existing simulation tools offer only a few
random mobility models, which poorly reflect user movements in
outdoor scenarios. For example, they do not consider restrictions of
a spatial environment. In this paper, we describe a comprehensive
and extensible approach to model mobility of users in outdoor
scenarios. It reflects the main factors that influence user
movement: spatial environments, user travel decisions, and user
movement dynamics. We identify model parameters and show how to set
them for concrete scenarios. We provide a simulation environment
implementing our approach. For concrete scenarios, the environment
supports automatic derivation of some parameters from user position
traces.
