Continuum percolation of wireless ad hoc communication networks

Wireless multi-hop ad hoc communication networks represent an infrastructure-less and self-organized generalization of todays wireless cellular networks. Connectivity within such a network is an important issue. Continuum percolation and technology-driven mutations thereof allow to address this issue in the static limit and to construct a simple distributed protocol, guaranteeing strong connectivity almost surely and independently of various typical uncorrelated and correlated random spatial patterns of participating ad hoc nodes.
