Abstract
The main application of wireless mobile ad hoc
networks is to offer services for situations wherein groups of
people come together and share information. The groups of people
that use the ad hoc network form some kind of social network. In
this paper an analysis of the performances of mobile ad hoc
networks is performed when taking into consideration its social
characteristics through the small world phenomena of the
application layer and usage of group-based mobility. The
simulations show that the social interconnection between the
network users has an extreme influence on the network
performances. The results bring forth a different view on the real
life deployment of ad hoc networks when compared to the poor
performances of the purely randomized scenarios.
