On Distances in Uniformly Random Networks
Martin Haenggi · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 2005
The distribution of Euclidean distances in Poisson point processes is determined. The main result is the density function of the distance to the n-nearest neighbor of a homogeneous process in Ropfm, which is shown to be governed by a generalized Gamma distribution. The result has many implications for large wireless networks of randomly distributed nodes
