Abstract: Ad hoc networking research needs meaningful models to describe the behavior of multihop routes. We survey existing static models to describe the distribution of link and path distances as well as dynamic models describing the lifetime of links, paths, and routes. Next, we enhance and combine selected models to form a combined model describing both, the static and dynamic aspects of mul-tihop ad hoc routes. In particular, our model allows for prediction of lifetimes for single and multi-path routes for a bounded and an unbounded modeling area. As a proof-of-concept, the model is applied to analyze the efficiency of different usage strategies of multipath routes: based on the life-time predictions of our model we estimate the transport capacity of the routes.
