We describe a new theoretical framework for determining fundamental performance limits of
wireless ad hoc networks. The framework expands the traditional definition of Shannon …

This paper addresses three issues in the field of ad hoc network capacity: the impact of (i)
channel fading,(ii) channel inversion power control, and (iii) threshold–based scheduling on …

The subject of this article is the long standing open problem of developing a general
capacity theory for wireless networks, particularly a theory capable of describing the …

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 …

Previous work on ad hoc network capacity has focused primarily on source-destination
throughput requirements for different models and transmission scenarios, with an emphasis …

One of the main characteristics of wireless ad hoc networks is their node-centric broadcast
nature of communication, leading to interferences and spatial contention between adjacent …

In recent years there has been significant and increasing interest in ad hoc wireless
networks. The design, analysis and deployment of such wireless networks necessitate a …

This paper considers two inter-related questions:(i) Given a wireless ad-hoc network and a
collection of source-destination pairs {(si, ti)}, what is the maximum throughput capacity of …

We study the performance of wireless ad hoc networks in the limit of a large number of
nodes. We first define ad hoc networks and their capacity. We then calculate a lower bound …

We study throughput-optimal scheduling in mobile ad hoc networks with time-varying
(fading) channels. Traditional back-pressure algorithms (based on the work by Tassiulas …
