Analysis of Capacity Region of Delay-Tolerant Hybrid Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Network capacity region is an important character of mobile ad hoc networks. Using cell-partitioned model, an expression of upper bound of delay-tolerant hybrid mobile ad hoc network is deduced regardless of coverage of base stations, types of mobile process, scheduling and routing algorithms. The limitation of the upper bound is derived, Analysis of the limitation of upper bound is carried out when the steady-state follows even-distribution law. The relationship among limitation of capacity, the node density and coverage of base station is analyzed.
