Improved Throughput Scaling of Large Ultra-Wide Band Ad Hoc Networks  

Shin, Won-Yong (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Dankook University)
Abstract
We show improved throughput scaling laws for an ultra-wide band (UWB) ad hoc network, in which n wireless nodes are randomly located. First, we consider the case where a modified hierarchical cooperation (HC) strategy is used. Then, in a dense network of unit area, our result indicates that the derived throughput scaling depends on the path-loss exponent ${\alpha}$ for certain operating regimes due to the power-limited characteristics. It also turns out that the HC protocol is dominant for 2 < ${\alpha}$ < 3 while using the nearest multihop (MH) routing leads to a higher throughput for ${\alpha}{\geq}3$. Second, the impact and benefits of infrastructure support are analyzed, where m base stations (BSs) are regularly placed in UWB networks. In this case, the derived throughput scaling depends on ${\alpha}$ due to the power-limited characteristics for all operating regimes. Furthermore, it is shown that the total throughput scales linearly with parameter m as m is larger than a certain level. Hence, the use of either HC or infrastructure is helpful in improving the throughput of UWB networks in some conditions.
