报告简介：

Many performance metrics in wireless networks are ultimately nonlinear functions of the distances between transmitters, receivers and interferers. For a given network coverage and a distribution of random users within the network, how to characterize the distances among these users in the same or neighbor cells or clusters becomes a challenge and a prerequisite to accurate system modeling and analysis. This talk presents some recent updates in Geometrical Probability for random distances associated with triangles and rhombuses (e.g., cell sectors with highly directional antennas), hexagons (e.g., cellular systems and ad hoc networks) and trapezoids (e.g., cell edge users) with or without a reference point, as well as arbitrary polygons, shows their wide applications in wireless communication networks, device-to-device (D2D) communications and other research areas, and compares them with some existing, state-of-the-art approximation approaches.
