Statistical mechanics of interfering links

Statistical mechanics of interfering links.

We consider the statistical mechanics of interfering transmissions in a wireless communications protocol. In this case, a connection between two nodes requires all other nodes within communication distance of the given two nodes to remain quiet on the given channel. This leads to an interesting problem of dimers on a lattice, with a restriction that no two dimers can overlap or be nearest neigh...

where pi ≡ p(x = i). If only M of the K states have non-zero probability and that probability is 1/M then S = logM . In this special case the entropy is the log of the number of occupied states. An analog of this special case in the continuous domain occurs in Liouville’s Theorem. This states that if the volume of phase space (i.e. of the x variable, but now multivariate and continuous) is some...
