Abstract:
Many performance metrics in wireless networks are ultimately nonlinear
functions of the distances between transmitters, receivers and interferers.
For a given network coverage and a distribution of random users within the
network, how to characterize the distances among these users becomes a
challenge and a prerequisite to accurate system modeling and analysis. This
talk presents some recent results in Geometrical Probability for random
distances associated with rhombuses (e.g., directional antennas) and
hexagons (e.g., cellular systems).
