Abstract: Ad hoc networks, a subset of wireless networks, allow the formation of a wireless network without the need for access point. All participating users in an ad hoc network agree to accept and forward messages, to and from each other. Wireless networks have the ability to form anywhere, at any time, when two or more wireless users are willing to communicate with each other. Mobility management with reference to handoff management has widely been recognized as one of the most important and challenging issue in ad hoc network. Various mobility models are used to define mobility of nodes. Evaluating mobility models within an ad hoc network gives solution to find out performance measures like handoff probability, dropping probability etc. In the present paper we present the analytical model for simulation to analyze performance of ad hoc network. Performance measures are the packet blocking probability and packet dropping probability.

Keywords: Blocking Probability, Dropping Probability, Mobility Models
