The Effects of the Number of Neighbors in Multihop Wireless Networks

Overview In multihop wireless networks, the number of neighbors has an important role in the network performance since links are dynamically formed between a node and its neighbors. This paper quantitatively studies the effects of the average number of neighbors in multihop wireless networks on the network connectivity, the number of hops needed to traverse a certain distance, which can be used to determine the hop diameter of a network, and the total energy consumed by packet transmission, which can be used to choose an optimum average number of neighbors that minimizes the energy consumption. The paper also presents an analysis of the energy consumption that can be applied to a wide range of access protocols and show the effect of a variety of factors.
