Analysis of isolated node in wireless ad hoc network

With the growing importance of wireless ad-hoc networks (particularly, in applications such as wireless local area networks, and ad-hoc sensor networks), it is important to develop an understanding of the isolated node in ad-hoc network with border effect. However it is a challenging task owing to the fact that such analysis must take into account the interactions between wireless physical layer, radio propagation and multiple accesses. Connectivity is one of the important features ofwireless sensor network.

The nodes are said to be connected in a network if their deterministic distance is less than transmission radius. In this paper, major issues in the probability analysis of isolated node inwireless ad-hoc sensor networks with border effect are presented. Additionally, the associated topics like fading and capacity scaling in different channels are surveyed. The results are obtained using MATLABcommunication tool for different values of node density, number of nodes for different channels and comparison of these channels are discussed.
