Abstract

The distributions of the random distances associated with hexagons, rhombuses and triangles have been derived and verified in the existing work. All of these geometric shapes are related to each other and have various applications in wireless communications, transportation, etc. Hexagons are widely used to model the cells in cellular networks, while trapezoids can be utilized to model the edge users in a cellular network with a hexagonal tessellation. In this report, the distributions of the random distances associated with unit trapezoids are derived, when two random points are within a unit trapezoid or in two neighbor unit trapezoids. The mathematical expressions are verified through simulation. Further, we present the polynomial fit for the PDFs, which can be used to simplify the computation.
