Abstract
Ad-hoc networks are often deployed in regions with complicated boundaries. We show that if the boundary is modeled as a fractal, a network requiring line of sight connections has the counterintuitive property that increasing the number of nodes decreases the full connection probability. We characterise this decay as a stretched exponential involving the fractal dimension of the boundary, and discuss mitigation strategies. Applications of this study include the analysis and design of sensor networks operating in rugged terrain (e.g. railway cuttings), mm-wave networks in industrial settings and vehicle-to-vehicle/vehicle-to-infrastructure networks in urban environments.
