First, please go through the following ns tutorial on simulating 
wireless network.

http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/tutorial/

In this homework, you are supposed to specify movement of the node in 
the tcl script. The tutorial describes another way to specify node 
movement. This method is very useful when you have many nodes in your 
network, and does not require you to specify node movement in the tcl 
script. You are supposed describe this method in a couple of sentences 
for question 2.
