In ad hoc wireless networking, units are connected to each other rather than to a central, fixed, infrastructure. Constructing and maintaining such networks create several trade-off problems between robustness, communication speed, power…
Practical wireless networks are finite, and hence non-stationary with nodes typically non-homo-geneously deployed over the area. This leads to a location-dependent performance and to boundary effects which are both often neglected in…
