More Benefits of Adding Sparse Random Links to Wireless Networks: Yet Another Case for Hybrid Networks by Gunes Ercal

“…Amongst the wired link stations, we consider creating a random 3-regular graph superimposed upon the random wireless network to create model G 1 , and alternatively we consider a sparser model G 2 as well, which is a random 1-out graph of the wired links superimposed upon the random wireless network. We prove that the diameter for G 1 is O ( k + log     ( n ) ) with high probability and the diameter for G 2 is O ( k log     ( n ) ) with high probability, both of which exponentially improve the Θ ( n / log n ) diameter of the random geometric graph around the connectivity threshold, thus also inducing small-world characteristics as the high clustering remains unchanged. …”
