text: The (maximum receiver-centric) interference of a geometric graph (von (2005)) is studied. It is shown that, with high probability, the following results hold for a set, V, of n points independently and uniformly distributed in the unit d-cube, for constant dimension d: (1) there exists a connected graph with vertex set V that has interference O((log n)^ 1 3 ); (2) no connected graph with vertex set V has interference o((log n)^ 1 4 ); and (3) the minimum spanning tree of @math has interference Theta(( n)^ 1 2 ).
  @cite_5: We consider interference minimization in wireless ad-hoc networks. This is formulated as assigning a suitable transmission radius to each of the given points in the plane, so as to minimize the maximum number of transmission ranges overlapping any point. Using ideas from computational geometry and @e-net theory, we attain an O(@D) bound for the maximum interference where @D is the interference of a uniform-radius ad-hoc network. This generalizes a result given in [P. von Rickenbach, S. Schmid, R. Wattenhofer, A. Zollinger, A robust interference model for wireless ad-hoc networks, in: Proc. 5th International Workshop on Algorithms for Wireless, Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks (WMAN), Denver, Colorado, USA, April 2005] for the special case of highway model (i.e., one-dimensional problem) to the two-dimensional case. We show how a distributed algorithm can achieve a slightly weaker bound. We also give a method based on quad-tree decomposition and bucketing that has another provable interference bound in terms of the ratio of the minimum distance to the radius of a uniform-radius ad-hoc network.
summary: This lower bound is matched by an upper-bound: The upper bound in twod-upper is obtained by selecting @math vertices to act as , connecting the hubs into any connected network and then having each of the remaining nodes connect to its nearest hub. This idea was extended to two and higher dimensions by Halld 'orsson and Tokuyama @cite_5 , by using a special type of @math -net as the set of hubs:
