During last year there was high emphasis on mobile networking and access to the internet everywhere and any time. This was achieved by using wireless networks, like GSM or Wi-Fi family. New standards are emerging, like WiMax. This is centralized architecture networks, where central base station or access point is the essential part of the network. During down-time of this network part, whole network remains down. Other drawback this architecture – closely positioned users cannot communicate directly. Their communication is routed by some base station which is located at greater distance. This affects not optimal usage of wireless resources. New generation of wireless networks uses multihop architecture. This architecture does not include central base station in it. Users can directly communicate with each other. This affects smaller area where radio resources are used. It can lead to higher channel reuse. Linear and plane topology multihop networks were analyzed. Instant network capacity can reach up to λ/w=0.5 with line topology and up to λ/w=0.33 with plane topology. This achieved with lowest possible density when nodes can still communicate. When network density increases there is exponential drop of capacity heading towards λ/w=1/n value. It shows negative relation of network size and capacity. Experiment shows that there is some density, when wireless network can operate at maximum capacity. We call it optimal density. This can be used as a recommendation for deploying wireless multihop networks. There are questions which arise after analysis of experiment results – what can influence optimal network density. By controlling the network density, there can be improvement of wireless multihop networks. Dynamic adjusted parameters by routing algorithms could help improve mobile network capacity. |
