Requiring all nodes of a wireless multihop network to be connected is expensive and results in a poor scalability of properties such as transport capacity. We show however that it is no longer the case if we only slightly loosen the connectivity requiremen ...
We consider a wireless sensor network, where nodes switch between an active (on) and a sleeping (off) mode, to save energy. Their switching on/off schedules are completely non-coordinated. Their positions are distributed according to a Poisson process, and ...
We study the connectivity and capacity of finite area ad hoc wireless networks, with an increasing number of nodes (dense networks). We find that the properties of the network strongly depend on the shape of the attenuation function. For power law attenuat ...
We consider a large-scale wireless network, but with a low density of nodes per unit area. Interferences are then less critical, contrary to connectivity. This paper studies the latter property for both a purely ad-hoc network and a hybrid network, where f ...
We study the impact of interferences on the connectivity of large-scale ad-hoc networks, using percolation theory. We assume that a bi-directional connection can be set up between two nodes if the signal to noise ratio at reception is larger than some thre ...
