关于TheOne的仿真机制-由运动模型产生连接数据

/**

 * 
 * <P>The idea in short:<BR>
 * Instead of checking for every interface if some of the other interfaces are close
 * enough (this approach obviously doesn't scale) we check only interfaces that
 * are "close enough" to be possibly connected. Being close enough is
 * determined by keeping track of the approximate location of the interfaces 
 * by storing them in overlay grid's cells and updating the cell information
 * every time the interfaces move. If two interfaces are in the same cell or in 
 * neighboring cells, they have a chance of being close enough for
 * connection. Then only that subset of interfaces is checked for possible
 * connectivity.

上面是TheOne中对连接网格的介绍，节点运动对应坐标改变，坐标改变需要更新连接关系，对于某一个节点来说，如果没有连接网格的支持，需要遍历所有的节点来判断两者是否满足传输range的要求，来决定能否建立connection，这显然不可扩展scale，因为随着网络的增大，这种检测将变得不可行。

所以采用一种网格，将节点对应到网格内，这样每次检测某个节点能否和其它节点建立连接，只需要检测本网格和邻居网络的节点即可。

有点类似Opnet的rxgroup。

/**
	 * Notifies all the connection listeners about a change in connections.
	 * @param type Type of the change (e.g. {@link #CON_DOWN} )
	 * @param otherHost The other host on the other end of the connection.
	 */
	private void notifyConnectionListeners(int type, DTNHost otherHost) {
		if (this.cListeners == null) {
			return;
		}
		for (ConnectionListener cl : this.cListeners) {
			switch (type) {
			case CON_UP:
				cl.hostsConnected(this.host, otherHost);
				break;
			case CON_DOWN:
				cl.hostsDisconnected(this.host, otherHost);
				break;
			default:
				assert false : type;	// invalid type code
			}
		}
	}

上面的代码是在NetworkInterface下，能够通知所有的连接监听成员当前连接的变化情况。
