We present scaling laws that dictate both local and global connectivity
properties of bounded wireless networks. These laws are defined with respect to
the key system parameters of per-node transmit power and the number of antennas
exploited for diversity coding and/or beamforming at each node. We demonstrate
that the local probability of connectivity scales like O(zC) in these parameters, where C is the ratio of the dimension of
the network domain to the path loss exponent, thus enabling efficient boundary
effect mitigation and network topology control.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
