Delay-throughput tradeoff with correlated mobility of ad-hoc networks
Shuochao Yao, Xinbing Wang, Xiaohua Tian, Qian Zhang · 2014
We analyze the scaling law in wireless ad hoc networks with the correlated mobility model. The former work about correlated mobility has shown the maximum throughput and the corresponding delay of several sub-cases, but the optimal throughput performances under various delay tolerant condition (the optimal delay-throughput tradeoff) remains open. We study the properties of correlated mobility model and establish the upper bound of delay-throughput tradeoff for several sub-cases. Then we find out an achievable lower bound by studying the optimal scheduling parameters and their constrains. We exploit the node correlation to achieve the delay-throughput tradeoff and give a picture that how node correlation impacts the packet delay, asymptotic throughput, and their tradeoff.
