Aggregate Interference in Random Waypoint Mobile Networks

In this work, we characterize the wireless interference of a mobile ad hoc network, where the nodes move according to the Random Waypoint model. The interferers are assumed to be located within an interference region, which is defined as a circular region centered in a fixed node located in the center of the mobility scenario. The main contribution of this letter is the characterization of the aggregate interference caused to the fixed node by the mobile interferers located within the interference region. The distribution of the interference is analyzed taking into account the stochastic nature of the path loss due to the mobility of the nodes. The theoretical approach is validated through simulations, which confirm its effectiveness.
