further work on network interference in wireless ad hoc networks
It is known that interference is considered as a relationship between link and node in previous works. In this paper, we attempt to capture the physical situation of space-division multiplex more realistically by defining interference as a relationship between any two undirected links. Here a new metric, the average partial interference coefficients , is given. Then we find that the coefficients are almost independent with node density and can be approximated by different linear functions of the length of link respectively. Based on the insight obtained, a new topology control algorithm, the blocked interference minimum algorithm (BIMA), is proposed to control the network interference. Our simulation indicates that the network topologies produced by BIMA show good performance in terms of network interference, energy cost and node degree.
