Distance and Routing for Irregular Cellular Networks

Robert Harbart
(Masters Student Presentation)



Continuing off the established work in triangular cellular communication networks, which has focused primarily on cohesive grids, this research looks into the algorithm design for irregular network graphs. Graphs representing either cellular networks with missing base stations or sensor networks assume gaps in their structure. These gaps produce an irregularity that offers a variable routing solution.

In such light, this work attempts to construct a viable method of solving the routing problem when networks are less then ideal. The aim is to establish a strong algorithm to repeatedly produce the shorted routing distance with the most economical labeling scheme.
