title = "An Analytic Model Predicting the Optimal Range for Maximizing 1-Hop Broadcast Coverage in Dense Wireless Networks",
abstract = "We present an analytic model to predict the optimal range for maximizing 1-hop broadcast coverage in dense ad-hoc wireless networks, using information like network density and node sending rate. We first derive a geometric-based, probabilistic model that describes the expected coverage as a function of range, sending rate and density. Because we can only solve the resulting equations numerically, we next develop extrapolations that find the optimum range for any rate and density given a single precomputed optimum. Finally using simulation, we show that in spite of many simplifications in the model, our extrapolation is able to predict the optimal range to within 16%.",
