The mean location for one dimension is zero and the meansquared displacement is equal to
2Dt
.Therefore weconclude that when direction bias is missing ,there is nooverall movement in any direction. But from equation (3),we find that the mean squared distance is increasinglinearly with time. We made different observation onrandom walk models in one, two and three dimensions. Letthere be
N
steps of equal length along a line by a node, let
p
be the
probability of taking a step to right and let q be theprobability of taking a step to left direction. We assume thatthe node can take up
n1
steps in to right or
n2
steps to theleft [4].
p + q=1
and
n1 + n2 = N

this becomes

In order to travel a distance

steps are therefore required.Figure 4. Random Walk in 3 dimensionIV. A REVIEW OF GAUSS MARKOV MODEL WITHGRAPHICAL INTERPRETATIONWe now consider the concept of drift in a node movement.Let us assume
as degree of randomness in the mobilitypattern [2].A node is firstly placed in the simulation area and assigneda current speed and direction .At fixed intervals of time
n
movements occur. The next location is calculated on thebasis of the current location, speed and direction of themovement.For new speed and direction we have
