Improved capacity bounds for wireless networks
Ashish Agarwal, P. R. Kumar · Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing · 2004
Abstract We obtain improved upper and lower bounds on the best case and random case transport capacities of wireless networks under the Protocol Model of communication in Reference [ 1 ]. These results bracket the best case transport capacity to within a factor of $\sqrt8$ for wireless networks on a disk. This is done by identifying larger exclusion regions for receivers. The general result on exclusion regions can also be applied to arbitrary wireless footprints, including those arising from directional antennas, thus obtaining superior bounds for such technologies too.
