// This is a random mobility model for a mobile host with a mass. It is the
// one used in "Optimized Smooth Handoffs in Mobile IP" by Perkins &Wang.
//
// "An MH moves within the room according to the following pattern. It moves
// along a straight line for a certain period of time before it makes a turn.
// This moving period is a random number, normally distributed with average of
// 5 seconds and standard deviation of 0.1 second. When it makes a turn, the
// new direction (angle) in which it will move is a normally distributed
// random number with average equal to the previous direction and standard
// deviation of 30 degrees. Its speed is also a normally distributed random
// number, with a controlled average, ranging from 0.1 to 0.45 (unit/sec), and
// standard deviation of 0.01 (unit/sec). A new such random number is picked
// as its speed when it makes a turn. This pattern of mobility is intended to
// model node movement during which the nodes have momentum, and thus do not
// start, stop, or turn abruptly. When it hits a wall, it reflects off the
// wall at the same angle; in our simulated world, there is little other
// choice."
//
// This implementation can be parameterized a bit more, via the changeInterval,
// changeAngleBy and changeSpeedBy parameters. The parameters described above
// correspond to the following settings:
//    - changeInterval = normal(5, 0.1)
//    - changeAngleBy = normal(0, 30)
//    - speed = normal(avgSpeed, 0.01)
