Abstract	We develop a detailed approach to study how mobility impacts the performance of reactive MANET routing protocols. In particular we examine how the statistics of path durations including PDFs vary with the parameters such as the mobility model, relative speed, number of hops, and radio range. We find that at low speeds, certain mobility models may induce multi-modal distributions that reflect the characteristics of the spatial map, mobility constraints and the communicating traffic pattern. However, our study suggests that at moderate and high velocities the exponential distribution with appropriate parameterizations is a good approximation of the path duration distribution for a range of mobility models. The reciprocal of the average path duration is analytically shown to have a strong linear relationship with the throughput and overhead that is confirmed by the simulation results for DSR.
