The capacity of wireless networks
Piyush Gupta,P. R. Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: When n identical randomly located nodes, each capable of transmitting at W bits per second and using a fixed range, form a wireless network, the throughput /spl lambda/(n) obtainable by each node for a randomly chosen destination is /spl Theta/(W//spl radic/(nlogn)) bits persecond under a noninterference protocol.

Journal ArticleDOI
The number of neighbors needed for connectivity of wireless networks
Feng Xue,P. R. Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that in a network with n randomly placed nodes, each node should be connected to Θ(log n) nearest neighbors, and it appears that the critical constant may be close to one, but that remains an open problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cautionary perspective on cross-layer design
Vikas Kawadia,P. R. Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that it behooves to exercise caution while engaging in cross-layer design, because unbridled cross- layer design can lead to spaghetti design, which can stifle further innovation and be difficult to upkeep.
