Limit theory for Lipschitz-localized statistics in random geometric models

We study sums of locally dependent scores associated with general marked (i.e., labeled) Euclidean point processes. We introduce geometric mixing conditions on the underlying point process and a Lipschitz-"localization" condition on the scores, which jointly ensure a central limit theorem for the sums of the scores as well as expectation and variance asymptotics. Our localization condition is formulated using the bounded Lipschitz metric, providing a distributional criterion. This stands in contrast to the classical stabilization conditions in stochastic geometry, which are typically based on stopping-set constructions. To demonstrate the applicability of our general framework, we consider several stochastic processes indexed by spatial random graphs. These include spin systems, interacting diffusions, and interacting particle systems. In particular, spin systems highlight the importance of our localization condition. Additional applications include empirical random fields and geostatistical Boolean models.

Adaptive determinantal scheduling with fairness in wireless networks

We propose a novel framework for wireless network scheduling with fairness using determinantal (point) processes. Our approach incorporates the repulsive nature of determinantal processes, generalizing traditional Aloha protocols that schedule transmissions independently. We formulate the scheduling problem with an utility function representing fairness. We then recast this formulation as a convex optimization problem over a certain class of determinantal point processes called $L$-ensembles, which are particularly suited for statistical and numerical treatments. These determinantal processes, which have already proven valuable in subset learning, offer an attractive approach to network resource scheduling and allocating. We demonstrate the suitability of determinantal processes for network models based on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). Our results highlight the potential of determinantal scheduling coupled with fairness. This work bridges recent advances in machine learning with wireless communications, providing a mathematically elegant and computationally tractable approach to network scheduling.

Connectivity and interference in device-to-device networks in Poisson-Voronoi cities

To study the overall connectivity in device-to-device networks in cities, we incorporate a signal-to-interference-plus-noise connectivity model into a Poisson-Voronoi tessellation model representing the streets of a city. Relays are located at crossroads (or street intersections), whereas (user) devices are scattered along streets. Between any two adjacent relays, we assume data can be transmitted either directly between the relays or through users, given they share a common street. Our simulation results reveal that the network connectivity is ensured when the density of users (on the streets) exceeds a certain critical value. But then the network connectivity disappears when the user density exceeds a second critical value. The intuition is that for longer streets, where direct relay-to-relay communication is not possible, users are needed to transmit data between relays, but with too many users the interference becomes too strong, eventually reducing the overall network connectivity. This observation on the user density evokes previous results based on another wireless network model, where transmitter-receivers were scattered across the plane. This effect disappears when interference is removed from the model, giving a variation of the classic Gilbert model and recalling the lesson that neglecting interference in such network models can give overly optimistic results. For physically reasonable model parameters, we show that crowded streets (with more than six users on a typical street) lead to a sudden drop in connectivity. We also give numerical results outlining a relationship between the user density and the strength of any interference reduction techniques.
