Irregular radio propagation increases the average edge length. • Network Model • Connectivity • Edge Length • Interference Edge Length Distribution
Log-normal shadowing reduces the number of interferers. Radio irregularity from log-normal shadowing is beneficial for both connectivity and interference. A comparable unit disk model is a worst case scenario for connectivity and interference. • Network Model • Connectivity • Edge Length • Interference Interference • Number of interferers: number of nodes that must not send concurrently to a given network link • Studied interference under log-normal shadowing and a power assignment that keeps the expected cumulated noise constant
