摘要：Recently aircraft ad hoc networks have received attention from many researchers since ad hoc network technology is expected to play a great role in communications between aircrafts. Due to large number of aircrafts as well as high bandwidth to meet emerging demands such as multimedia stream, ad hoc networks can be practical approach in this situation. However, since aircraft ad hoc networks possess significantly different properties to typical MANET or VANET, many research challenges remains unsolved yet. Among them, simulation study is one of key research area by providing simulation scenarios through simulator. Despite of importance, since current popular simulators do not provide the simulation environments for aircraft ad hoc networks, it is strongly required to extend the current simulators by adding several elements such as mobility model, type of node and so on. Based on above research needs, in this paper, we propose how to implement the realistic mobility scenarios for aircraft ad hoc network. To design the relevant model, we implement new software which connects it to commercial flight simulator to generate mobility trace file. This file is converted to corresponding mobility file for each simulator. The software developed by .NET will be presented to validate its operation by diverse experiments.
