Coverage Probability and Channel Capacity Analysis of Wireless Multi-connectivity Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the downlink wireless multi-connectivity Ad Hoc network. We model the network where the node locations follow a poisson point process and derive the coverage probability and channel capacity performance based on stochastic geometry. From our analysis, we show how the performance of wireless multi-connectivity Ad Hoc networks can be enhanced by adjusting the number of connections, the number of connected nodes and the density of nodes. Moreover, the simulation results verify the numeric analysis and show the upper bound and lower bound of channel capacity with special cases. It also unveils that rather than implementing multi-connectivity for all nodes, the network operators should consider such as coverage probability and end-to-end delay network performance which can benefit from the optimal scheme the most.
