Performance Study and Optimization of 3D-MANET: A New Analytical Perspective Based on Zipf’s Law

This paper studies the throughput capacity and delay scaling laws in a three-dimensional mobile ad hoc network (3D-MANET) under different routing schemes. Previous work generally assumed that nodes follow uniform distribution or power-law to move network. From perspective of entire network, it is difficult for this model reflect communication entities’ real 3D space. Moreover, research results analyzing performance using schemes are limited, insufficient. With formerly related different,we propose cell-gridded considers actual environment with cells node aggregation degree, which follows Zipf’s law exponent γ . And our can cover variety scenarios changes id="M2"> value. The packet delivery rate, capacity, 3D-MANET adopting traditional two-hop nonredundant redundant relay scheme examined utilizing theoretical tools such as probability theory, random process, queuing theory. We wireless access point- (WAP-) enabled multihop scheme. By deploying WAP high id="M3"> , broadcast packets, accelerates obtained by applying indicate compared scheme, effectively improves transmission efficiency less loss performance. Additionally, better delay-capacity trade-off achieved. Finally, we discuss influence parameters number id="M4"> n id="M5"> m redundancy id="M6"> r id="M7"> on delay. analysis confirm exploiting users’ status information dividing reasonably will save deployment costs further improve
