Stochastic Geometry Modeling and Analysis of Single- and Multi-Cluster Wireless Networks
This paper develops a stochastic geometry-based approach for the modeling and
analysis of single- and multi-cluster wireless networks. We first define finite
homogeneous Poisson point processes to model the number and locations of the
transmitters in a confined region as a single-cluster wireless network. We
study the coverage probability for a reference receiver for two strategies;
closest-selection, where the receiver is served by the closest transmitter
among all transmitters, and uniform-selection, where the serving transmitter is
selected randomly with uniform distribution. Second, using Matern cluster
processes, we extend our model and analysis to multi-cluster wireless networks.
Here, the receivers are modeled in two types, namely, closed- and open-access.
Closed-access receivers are distributed around the cluster centers of the
transmitters according to a symmetric normal distribution and can be served
only by the transmitters of their corresponding clusters. Open-access
receivers, on the other hand, are placed independently of the transmitters and
can be served by all transmitters. In all cases, the link distance distribution
and the Laplace transform (LT) of the interference are derived. We also derive
closed-form lower bounds on the LT of the interference for single-cluster
wireless networks. The impact of different parameters on the performance is
also investigated
Power Beacon-Assisted Millimeter Wave Ad Hoc Networks
Deployment of low cost power beacons (PBs) is a promising solution for
dedicated wireless power transfer (WPT) in future wireless networks. In this
paper, we present a tractable model for PB-assisted millimeter wave (mmWave)
wireless ad hoc networks, where each transmitter (TX) harvests energy from all
PBs and then uses the harvested energy to transmit information to its desired
receiver. Our model accounts for realistic aspects of WPT and mmWave
transmissions, such as power circuit activation threshold, allowed maximum
harvested power, maximum transmit power, beamforming and blockage. Using
stochastic geometry, we obtain the Laplace transform of the aggregate received
power at the TX to calculate the power coverage probability. We approximate and
discretize the transmit power of each TX into a finite number of discrete power
levels in log scale to compute the channel and total coverage probability. We
compare our analytical predictions to simulations and observe good accuracy.
The proposed model allows insights into effect of system parameters, such as
transmit power of PBs, PB density, main lobe beam-width and power circuit
activation threshold on the overall coverage probability. The results confirm
that it is feasible and safe to power TXs in a mmWave ad hoc network using PBs.Comment: This work has been submitted to the IEEE for possible publication.

Spatial networks with wireless applications
Many networks have nodes located in physical space, with links more common
between closely spaced pairs of nodes. For example, the nodes could be wireless
devices and links communication channels in a wireless mesh network. We
describe recent work involving such networks, considering effects due to the
geometry (convex,non-convex, and fractal), node distribution,
distance-dependent link probability, mobility, directivity and interference.Comment: Review article- an amended version with a new title from the origina
