Throughput Capacity of Selfish Wireless Ad Hoc Networks with General Node Density

In this paper, we study the throughput capacity of wireless networks considering the selfish feature of interaction between nodes. In our proposed network model, each node has a probability of cooperating to relay transmission. According to the extent of selfishness, we, by the application of percolation theory, construct a series of highways crossing the network. The transmission strategy is then divided into three consecutive phases. Comparing the rate in each phase, we find the bottleneck of rate is always in the highway phase. Finally, the result reveals that the node’s selfishness degrades the throughput with a factor of square root of the cooperative probability, whereas the node density has trivial impact on the throughput.

Capacity of Wireless Networks With Social Characteristics

This paper studies the throughput capacity of wireless networks with social characteristics. We propose a simple model to reflect both the social relations between nodes and power-law node degree distribution, and then examine their impact on capacity. We show the fact that two features above lead to traffic locality and improve capacity. Moreover, multicasting may be employed to further enhance performance when information is desired to be published from the source to all its contacts, of which the number follows power-law distribution. In addition, we propose the corresponding capacity-achieving communication schemes, which optimally exploit the underlying structure. Our study is an attempt to understand how social relations may impact on network capacity from a theoretical perspective, and provides fundamental insight on the design and analysis of real wireless networks.

Throughput Capacity of Multi-Channel Hybrid Wireless Network with Antenna Support

Capacity is one fundamental problem in wireless networks. Directional antennas to wireless networks can decrease interference and increase spatial reuse. Thus, it is a great technolog y to improve throughput capacity of wireless networks. In the paper, the upper and lower bounds of multi-channel hybrid wireless network with antenna supported are investigated. Both simplified antenna model and hybrid antenna model are addressed. Moreover, two scaling regimes are identified, based on the growth of the number of channels relative to that of interfaces.

Capacity of wireless networks under SINR interference constraints

A fundamental problem in wireless networks is to estimate their throughput capacity--given a set of wireless nodes and a set of connections, what is the maximum rate at which data can be sent on these connections. Most of the research in this direction has focused either on random distributions of points, or has assumed simple graph-based models for wireless interference. In this paper, we study the capacity estimation problem using a realistic Signal to Interference Plus Noise Ratio (SINR) model for interference, on arbitrary wireless networks without any assumptions on node distributions. The problem becomes much more challenging for this setting, because of the non-locality of the SINR model. Recent work by Moscibroda et al. (IEEE INFOCOM 2006, ACM MobiHoc 2006) has shown that the throughput achieved by using SINR models can differ significantly from that obtained by using graph-based models. In this work, we develop polynomial time algorithms to provably approximate the throughput capacity of wireless network under the SINR model.

Non-asymptotic capacity and delay analysis of mobile wireless networks

The class of Gupta-Kumar results, which predict the throughput capacity in wireless networks, is restricted to asymptotic regimes. This tutorial presents a methodology to address a corresponding non-asymptotic analysis based on the framework of the stochastic network calculus, in a rigorous mathematical manner. In particular, we derive explicit closed-form results on the distribution of the end-to-end capacity and delay, for a fixed source-destination pair, in a network with broad assumptions on its topology and degree of spatial correlations. The results are non-asymptotic in that they hold for finite time scales and network sizes, as well as bursty arrivals. The generality of the results enables the research of several interesting problems, concerning for instance the effects of time scales or randomness in topology on the network capacity.
