This paper considers multi-hop wireless networks consisting of wireless terminals and fixed wireless stations. It is assumed that terminals are randomly distributed and fixed stations are regularly distributed. A terminal can directly communicate with another terminal, and a terminal can relay information from a terminal to another terminal. Fixed wireless stations can communicate with terminals, collect information from terminals, distribute information to terminals and play the role of relay stations. This paper analyzes covering performance of some of the multi-hop radio networks which are different in network structure.
