Abstract

One of the wide used modeling techniques applied to model human mobility patterns is synthetic mobility modeling. Synthetic models are largely preferred and widely applied to simulate mobile communication networks. They try to capture the patterns of human movements by means of a set of equations. These models are traceable, however, not capable until now of generating realistic mobility models. The chapter highlights the state of art and provides a comprehensive investigation of current research efforts in the field of synthetic mobility modeling. It reviews well-known approaches along with their pros and cons and finalizes with a qualitative comparison between them.
