Stationary distributions for the random waypoint mobility model (2004, background): “In particular it has been noticed [2, 7, 8] that the stationary distribution of the location of a node is more concentrated near the center of the region in which the nodes move, since nodes traveling between uniformly chosen points spend more time near the center than near the edges.”
