Temporal Correlation of Interference: Cases with Correlated Traffic

We analyze the dynamics of interference in a wireless network under a correlated traffic model: A given node increases or decreases its transmission probability if it has transmitted in the preceding time slot. This traffic model is of importance since it resembles part of the behavior of many communication techniques as, e.g., retransmission protocols or cooperative relaying. Results show that the traffic model has high impact on temporal correlation of interference, which has to be considered when designing such techniques.
