**5.2.1 Analysis of delay**

As shown in the (figure 35), in the time that the AMN is in the AHA zone (between t = 1.2s and t = 10s), the traffic experiences a delay below 250ms, this is due mainly to the fact that the AMN communicates directly with the ACN, that is to say, traffic does not pass through the intermediate nodes. Then we can see a blank space, which corresponds to the time when the AMN moves towards the PAR/LER1 and does not send traffic to the ACN. Beyond the time t = 10s we can observe that the experienced delay increases, at this time the AMN is fully in PAR/LER1 zone. A few seconds later we see a growing tendency of the delay until reaching a blank space, this behavior corresponds to the time when the AMN performs the transfer from the PAR/LER1 to the NAR/LER2 between times t = 16s and t = 20s . Finally the delay adopts a regular behavior close to the 350ms, which is maintained until the end of the simulation. The average delay was 224.521ms.
