Abstract—With the development of ad hoc network technology, its mobility models have recently emerged as a premier research topic. Several mobility models of ad hoc network were introduced in this paper, and a formula to calculate the connectivity of mobile ad hoc network was proposed. Three of those mobility models were simulated in NS2.The relationship function among the number of nodes, the range of nodes and the connectivity of ad hoc network were gained by curve-fitting using Boltzmann Function for the first time, which provides a judgment criterion for ad hoc networking.
