• Q: Is your scheme appropriate for military battlefields?
• A: Only simple human walk is measured. In mission environment the model would be different as troops move with task. In the case of stationary platoon, the same models can apply.

• Q: Did you observed correlation on where users stop together?
• A: We haven’t studied that.

• Q: To exploit this mobility model, it seems that work should look at common properties of movement that could be used for forwarding data packets.
• A: In our case, the users are restricted to the locality, they were not moving among the localities. But the point is good, certain mobility patterns can be exploited for data delivery.
