Mobile Geometric Graphs, and Detection and Communication Problems in Mobile Wireless Networks
Alistair Sinclair ; Alexandre Stauffer ;
Date 7 May 2010
AbstractStatic wireless networks are by now quite well understood mathematically through the random geometric graph model. By contrast, there are relatively few rigorous results on the practically important case of mobile networks, in which the nodes move over time; moreover, these results often make unrealistic assumptions about node mobility such as the ability to make very large jumps. In this paper we consider a realistic model for mobile wireless networks which we call mobile geometric graphs, and which is a natural extension of the random geometric graph model. We study two fundamental questions in this model: detection (the time until a given "target" point - which may be either fixed or moving - is detected by the network), and percolation (the time until a given node is able to communicate with the giant component of the network). For detection, we show that the probability that the detection time exceeds t is exp(-Theta(t/log t)) in two dimensions, and exp(-Theta(t)) in three or more dimensions, under reasonable assumptions about the motion of the target. For percolation, we show that the probability that the percolation time exceeds t is exp(-Omega(t^frac{d}{d+2})) in all dimensions dgeq 2. We also give a sample application of this result by showing that the time required to broadcast a message through a mobile network with n nodes above the threshold density for existence of a giant component is O(log^{1+2/d} n) with high probability.
