Info from the network Latency/Speed Packet Loss Node Density Power Similar to the principle of “pinging” Used to estimate if a node is traveling Rate of change of the neighbors Packet Loss To determine the reliability of a link Node Density For sizing the zone radius Power Used to determine the node’s willingness to serve as part of a route

Parameter optimisation

Status Research Design Code Documentation Testing Literature Survey completed. Design 80-90%: revisions in progress where required Code 50%: currently shifting focus from Network modelling to ZRP. Documentation Writing the first draft of the thesis. Individually documenting each of the modules. Testing Simultaneously performed during coding, using tools such as DDD & memprof.

Further work Incorporate some new aspects to the design, such as GPS. Continue the coding phase to completion. Prepare the first draft of the thesis.
