I am trying to simulate a wireless ad hoc network to analyse the performance of TCP over ad hoc networks. I was planning to simulate a network that contains 30 nodes. How do I decide as to how many nodes should be made mobile?.
Thanks, Aravind

Surely deciding how many nodes should be mobile is a function of the simulation based upon the analysis?!
Is this a trick question? 30. Ad-hoc networks are *ALL* mobiles. There is no fixed access point in an ad-hoc network. It's all client to client communications where everyone is equal.
This model is going to be unrealistic as the maximum number of clients in an 802.11b/g ad-hoc network is 9 clients. Are you really using
802.11g/b or is this a Zigbee or sensornet model?Hmmm... RDNS on your posting IP address of 129.110.97.136 shows University of Texas in Dallas. Yeah, it's a skool.
I was under the impression that some of the nodes could be stationary. It wasn't meant to be a trick question. I was hoping someone would point me to some link which would help me decide about the simulation models. Thanks for the link.

You didn't answer my question(s). Is this an 802.11b/g ad-hoc network? If so, you're limited to 9 nodes. However, if it's a Zigbee or MANET network:
Some of the nodes may be stationary. However, if you're using Radio-Mobile:
As for helping you "decide" on a simulation model, it would be helpful to know what you're simulating so the appropriate overpriced tools can be be found. From the minimal information you supplied, I can't offer much help.
I am using network simulator as the tool to simulate the environment. I was planning to use a two ray ground propagation model which is implementd in ns. I am using a IEEE802.11 MAC and an omni direction antenna model in ns.
