Stochastic Geometry and Wireless Networks

This volume discusses wireless network modeling and performance analysis with the aim of showing how stochastic geometry can be used in a more or less systematic way to analyze the phenomena that arise in this context. The book first focuses on medium access control mechanisms used in ad hoc networks and in cellular networks. It then discusses the use of stochastic geometry for the quantitative analysis of routing algorithms in mobile ad hoc networks. The appendix also contains a concise summary of wireless communication principles and of the network architectures considered in the two volumes.
