Topic: Connectivity Properties of Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Speaker: Chi Zhang

Room: NEB 101
Time: 4:05pm - 5:05pm

Abstract
Connectivity is one of the most fundamental performance 
characteristics of wireless ad hoc networks. In this talk, we will 
discuss the following topics:
 (1) Connectivity for arbitrary finite networks;
 (2) Connectivity for homogeneous random geographic graphs;
 (3) Graph evolution for homogeneous random geographic graphs;
 (4) Connectivity for general random geographic graphs;
 (5) $k$-connectivity problems;
 (6) Connectivity based on more realistic assumptions for radio 
ropagation;
 (7) Connectivity with Bernoulli nodes.
Related mathematical techniques which are very useful in 
performance analysis for WANETs, such as percolation theory, 
geometric random graph, stochastic geometry, will also be 
introduced.
