Poisson Hole Process: Theory and Applications to Wireless Networks

Understand

Interference field in wireless networks is often modeled by a homogeneous Poisson Point Process (PPP).

• While it is realistic in modeling the inherent node irregularity and provides meaningful first-order results, it falls short in modeling the effect of interference management techniques, which typically introduce some form of spatial interaction among active transmitters.
• In some applications, such as cognitive radio and device-to-device networks, this interaction may result in the formation of holes in an otherwise homogeneous interference field.
• The resulting interference field can be accurately modeled as a Poisson Hole Process (PHP).
