Abstract

As dynamic networks have received more and more attention, traffic congestion on dynamic networks has become a significant issue. In this paper, we introduce a model in which nodes with finite storage capacity move randomly in a closed square area. A routing strategy based on the closest Euclidean distance between any two nodes is proposed to transmit packets in the dynamic network. Large packet generation rates will results in traffic congestion and abundant packet loss. Large node capacity is also disadvantage to traffic. Moreover, we also find that for each moving speed, there will be an optimal packet generation rate to maximize network traffic. In our dynamic network model, the Braess’ paradox is observed.
