Analysis of Capacity Region of Delay-Tolerant Hybrid Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract: Network capacity region is an important character for a mobile ad hoc network. This paper, using cell-partitioned model, an analytical expression of the upper bound of a delay-tolerant hybrid mobile ad hoc network is deduced, regardless of coverage of base stations, the type of mobile process and the scheduling and routing algorithms. The limitation of the upper bound has been derived, and numerical analysis of the limitation upper bound when the steady-state follows even-distribution law has been carried out. The relationship among limitation of capacity, node density and coverage of base station is analyzed.
