High density internet of things network analysis

This article presents results of Internet of things network modeling as an ad hoc network. The main attention is paid to the features of the functioning of such a network in high density conditions, up to 1 device per square meter. The paper presents the results of evaluations of the basic operating conditions, namely, the level of interference from neighboring network nodes and the signal-to-noise ratio. The results obtained show that such a network can remain connected, but construction of relatively long routes is required. The developed models make it possible to express the dependence of the noise level and signal-to-noise ratio on the network density, produced traffic, and transmitter power. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
