Abstract
Connectivity is crucial to ensure information availability and survivability for wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a unified framework to study the connectivity of wireless networks under a general type of interference attack, which can address diverse applications including Cognitive Radio, Jamming attack and shadowing effect. By considering the primary users, jammers and deep fading as unified Interferers, we investigate a 3-dimensional connectivity region, defined as the set of key system parameters — the density of users, the density of Interferers and the interference range of Interferers — with which the network is connected. Further we study the impact of the Interferers' settings on node isolation probability, which is a fundamental local connectivity metric. Through percolation theory, the sufficient and necessary conditions for global connectivity are also derived. Our study is supported by simulation results.
