Abstract-Throughput capacity is a critical parameter for the design and evaluation of ad-hoc wireless networks. Consider n identical randomly located nodes, on a unit area, forming an adhoc wireless network. Assuming a fixed per node transmission capability of T bits per second at a fixed range, it has been shown that the uniform throughput capacity per node r(n) is Θ (log n) (α+1)/2 ) (achievable lower bound).These bounds demonstrate that throughput increases with node density n, in contrast to previously published results. This is the result of the large bandwidth, and the assumed power and rate adaptation, which alleviate interference. Thus, the significance of physical layer properties on the capacity of ad-hoc wireless networks is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
