   This example shows a comparison between node mobility set with and without the
   use of helpers. Furthermore it shows a simple way to update the node positions.
   More advanced position allocations and mobility patterns can be achieve with
   the use of other helpers.
 
   In this example, node N1 moves to the right in 3 different instances
   during the simulation while node N0 remains static. A trace is used to print a
   message when movement is detected in node N1.

   N0,N1 --------------------->N1--------------------> N1 ------------------> N1
