“…, n−1) represents i-th node in the node placement that corresponds to the node number assigned at ( i/m , i mod m) slot coordinates in the graph of the network. Figure 1 shows an example of node placements for graph G 4,4 , and the corresponding node placement is σ = {11, 2, 6, 14, 8, 0, 3, 7, 5, 9, 12, 4, 15, 1, 10, 13}. If the traffic matrix gives that for example, nodes 8 and 10 (that are assigned at slots (1,0) and (3,2), respectively) are heavily communicated (i.e., t 8,10 = 1), the number of hops in the shortest path is 4 in this node placement.…”
