Improving ad hoc connectivity

Applying a decentralized selection scheme gives the opportunity for a physically optimized ad hoc connectivity structure. Therefore, the prerequisites for successful wireless ad hoc networking are analyzed. Due to a specific physical layer ratio of wireless capacity utilization and the average number of independent paths, a condition of isolation gives the opportunity to maintain isolated areas in any given ad hoc network distribution. According to the common underlying mathematical model of ad hoc networks, a selective network model is used to analyze local node connectivity. A higher relaying efficiency gives the main opportunity for an ad hoc net to be an essential part of a future networking system. The efficiency of a selective network topology is compared to pure range controlled topology.
