This paper presents a novel mobility model to perform realistic simulations of human movements and behaviors. The proposed model is based on discrete event simulation and graph theory. The proposed model is implemented in a wireless propagation simulator and used to evaluate various wireless network protocols including: propagation, localization and communication.
