The performance of distributed algorithms in mobile ad hoc networks
is strongly influenced by the connectivity of the network. In cases
where the connectivity is low, network partitioning occurs. The
mobility and the density of network nodes as well as the
communication technology are fundamental properties that have a
large impact on partitioning. A detailed characterization of this
behavior helps to improve the performance of distributed algorithms.
In this paper we introduce a set of metrics that characterize
partitioning in mobile ad hoc networks. Based on an extensive
simulation study we show the impact of node mobility, density and
transmission range on the proposed metrics for a wide range of
network scenarios.
