Topology Characterization for Position-based Wireless Network Topology Generators

Posted on July 28, 2020 by Wilfried Elmenreich

Computer networks are usually characterized by their graph properties. Thus, a network consists of vertices representing network nodes and directed or undirected edges representing connectivity. Such networks can be characterized by density, average degree, diameter, and clustering coefficient. These measures … Continue reading →
