Network Coding Capacity of Random Wireless Networks under a SINR Model (0804.4284v1)
Published 27 Apr 2008 in cs.IT, cs.NI, and math.IT
Abstract: Previous work on network coding capacity for random wired and wireless networks have focused on the case where the capacities of links in the network are independent. In this paper, we consider a more realistic model, where wireless networks are modelled by random geometric graphs with interference and noise. In this model, the capacities of links are not independent. By employing coupling and martingale methods, we show that, under mild conditions, the network coding capacity for random wireless networks still exhibits a concentration behavior around the mean value of the minimum cut.
