Welcome to the real world “Don’t think a wireless network is like a bunch of discs on the plane” (David Culler)
Experiment • 168 nodes on a 12x14 grid • grid spacing 2 feet • open space • one node transmits “I’m Alive” • surrounding nodes try to receive message http://localization.millennium.berkeley.edu
Prob(correct reception) Connectivity with noisy links
Connection probability Connection probability 1 1 d 2r d Random connection model Continuum percolation Unreliable connectivity
Rotationally asymmetric ranges Start with simplest extensions
Random connection model Connection probability Let define such that ||x1-x2||
Squishing and Squashing Connection probability ||x1-x2||
Connection probability 1 ||x|| Example
Theorem Forall “it is easier to reach connectivity in an unreliable network” “longer links are trading off for the unreliability of the connection”
Shifting and Squeezing Connection probability ||x||
Connection probability 1 ||x|| Example
Do long edges help percolation? Mixture of short and long edges Edges are made all longer
Squishing and squashing Shifting and squeezing for the standard connection model (disc) CNP
lc=0.359 How to find the CNP of a given connection function Run 7000 experiments with 100000 randomly placed points in each experiment look at largest and second largest cluster of points (average sliding window 100 experiments) Assume lc for discs from the literature and compute the expansion factor to match curves
Prob(Correct reception) Rotationally asymmetric ranges
Is the disc the hardest shape to percolate overall? CNP Non-circular shapes Among all convex shapes the triangle is the easiest to percolate Among all convex shapes the hardest to percolate is centrally symmetric Jonasson (2001), Annals of Probability.
CNP Conclusion To the engineer: as long as ENC>4.51 we are fine! To the theoretician: can we prove more theorems?
