In this paper we study the performance trade-offs between conventional cellular and multi-
hop ad-hoc wireless networks. We compare through simulations the performance of the two …

While several approaches have been proposed in literature for improving the performance
of wireless packet data networks, a recent class of approaches has focused on improving …

In wireless mobile networks, quantities such as call blocking probability, call dropping
probability, handoff probability, handoff rate, and the actual call holding times for both …

Augmenting cellular networks with shorter multihop wireless links that carry traffic to/from a
base station can be expected to facilitate higher rates and improved spatial reuse, therefore …

This work presents a novel architecture, Multihop Cellular Network (MCN), for wireless
communications. MCN preserves the benefit of conventional single-hop cellular networks …

There is considerable interest in modeling the performance of ad hoc networks analytically.
This paper presents approximate analytical models for the throughput performance of single …

Wireless cellular networks are large-scale networks in which asymptotic capacity
investigation is no longer a cliché. A substantial body of work has been carried out to …

How much information can one send through a random ad hoc network of n nodes, if
overlaid with a cellular architecture of m base stations? This network model is commonly …

Wireless ad hoc networks are formed by devices that are able to communicate with each
other using a wireless physical medium without having to resort to a pre-existing network …

We consider the question of what performance metric to maximize when designing ad hoc
wireless network protocols such as routing or MAC. We focus on maximizing rates under …
