ABSTRACT

Internet of things is defined as a network that allows sub networks including sensor, mobile, and vehicular networks to communicate with each other. The integration between different networks in IoT can bring the benefits and the characteristics of each network to the IoT environment. For example, sensor networks are mainly used for sensing and collecting data. Additionally, it is usually considered as static networks. On the other hand, mobile or vehicular networks are often employed for unicast communication between nodes or vehicles. Additionally, it is known for its mobiles behaviors. Bringing these different characteristics and benefits in one environment is attractive. The attractiveness of IoTs environment is dependable on the performance of its sub networks. The performance of a network cannot be accurately measured without accurate nodes movement modeling. This brings the importance of the discussed model in this paper.
