Stochastic Geometry and Wireless Networks

Download or read book Stochastic Geometry and Wireless Networks written by François Baccelli and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2009 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume bears on wireless network modeling and performance analysis. The aim is to show how stochastic geometry can be used in a more or less systematic way to analyze the phenomena that arise in this context. It first focuses on medium access control mechanisms used in ad hoc networks and in cellular networks. It then discusses the use of stochastic geometry for the quantitative analysis of routing algorithms in mobile ad hoc networks. The appendix also contains a concise summary of wireless communication principles and of the network architectures considered in the two volumes.
