Mobility is one of the most challenging issues in mobile Ad-Hoc networks which has a significant impact on performance of network protocols. To cope with this issue, the protocol designers should be able to analyze the movement of mobile nodes in a particular wireless network. In this thesis, a new framework called Mobility Analyzer has been proposed. At first, Mobility Analyzer categorizes mobility models based on their mobility characteristics; subsequently, it uses mobility metrics for evaluating mobility traces which are collected by GPS or generated by mobility simulators. Finally, Mobility Analyzer recognizes the mobility model of mobility traces based on mobility metrics and measures... 

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects motor functions. Performing mobility exercises help patients slowing down the progression of the illness and improving symptoms of the disease. Assessment and evaluation of activities of mobility exercises are critical for any treatment program particularly in tele-rehabilitation system. The purpose of the current study is to design an affordable and accurate wearable device with inertial measurement units (IMUs) for mobility activity recognition in Parkinson’s patients. The optimum number and arrangement (i.e. configuration) were found to minimize the cost while maintaining a fair accuracy. The activity recognition was...
