Abstract: The random waypoint model (RWP) is one of the most widely used mobility models in performance analysis of ad hoc networks. We analyze the stationary spatial distribution of a node moving according to the RWP model in a given convex area. For this we give an explicit expression, which is in the form of an one-dimensional integral giving the density up to a normalization constant. This result is also generalized to the case where the waypoints have a non-uniform distribution. Additionally, we study a modified RWP model, where the waypoints are on the perimeter. The analytical results are illustrated through numerical examples. Moreover, the analytical results are applied to study certain performance measures in ad hoc networks, namely connectivity and traffic load distribution.
