Wireless multi-hop ad hoc communication networks represent an
infrastructure-less and self-organized generalization of todays wireless
cellular networks. Connectivity within such a network is an important issue.
Continuum percolation and technology-driven mutations thereof allow to address
this issue in the static limit and to construct a simple distributed protocol,
guaranteeing strong connectivity almost surely and independently of various
typical uncorrelated and correlated random spatial patterns of participating ad
hoc nodes.Comment: 30 pages, to be published in Physica
