Simple Module CommunityMov

Package: ECMM.CommunityModel
File: src/CommunityModel/CommunityMov.ned

The Community Based Mobility Model Tracefile Reader

This module extendes the BasicMobility interface provided by inetmanet in order to implement a mobility model that is able to read from the mobility traces from an XML file of a specific format. It basically reads these traces, locates the future targets and makes the mmodules to move towards them at straight line trajectories. The XML format is based on the ns-2 simulator, used by Mirco Musolesi for his Comminity-based mobility model implementation. This file containing the traces should be pre-generated and available before the simulation takes place, usually by the SocMovGen module, also inlcuded in this package.
