Space-time information propagation in mobile ad hoc wireless networks

Gupta and Kumar (1999) have shown that density increases wireless capacity. Grossglauser and Tse (2001) have shown that mobility also increases capacity. We quantify more precisely these properties by setting up the general laws that the propagation path must satisfy in the presence of traffic flow density. Introducing the time constraint in packet delivery, we generalize to a space-time problem with mobile networks.
