More Benefits of Adding Sparse Random Links to Wireless Networks: Yet Another Case for Hybrid Networks by Gunes Ercal

“…Further, we theoretically demonstrate that as long as k is polylogarithmic in the network size, G 1 has rapidly mixing random walks with high probability, which also exponentially improves upon the mixing time of the purely wireless random geometric graph, which yields direct improvement to the performance of distributed gossip algorithms as well as normalized edge connectivity. Finally, we experimentally confirm that the algebraic connectivities of both G 1 and G 2 exhibit significant asymptotic improvement over that of the underlying random geometric graph. …”
