WMAN 2002, Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, March 25-26, 2002, Ulm, Germany
Recent publications in information theory demonstrated that mobility can increase the capacity of wireless ad hoc networks. More precisely, the throughput per source-destination pair can be kept constant as the density of nodes increases. Considering an analytical study as a starting point, in this paper we propose and evaluate a distributed scheduling policy for dense and highly mobile ad hoc networks. This policy takes advantage of mobility in order to reduce the relaying traffic in such a network. Simulation results are provided to show the benefit of mobility on the network throughput and the optimal transmission range is derived from an analytical study.
