- ItemSharp phase transition for Cox percolation(Seattle, Wash. : Univ. of Washington, Mathematics Dep., 2022) Hirsch, Christian; Jahnel, Benedikt; Muirhead, StephenWe prove the sharpness of the percolation phase transition for a class of Cox percolation models, i.e., models of continuum percolation in a random environment. The key requirements are that the environment has a finite range of dependence, satisfies a local boundedness condition and can be constructed from a discrete iid random field, however the FKG inequality need not hold. The proof combines the OSSS inequality with a coarse-graining construction that allows us to compare different notions of influence.
- ItemLower large deviations for geometric functionals([Madralin] : EMIS ELibEMS, 2020) Hirsch, Christian; Jahnel, Benedikt; Tóbiás, AndrásThis work develops a methodology for analyzing large-deviation lower tails associated with geometric functionals computed on a homogeneous Poisson point process. The technique applies to characteristics expressed in terms of stabilizing score functions exhibiting suitable monotonicity properties. We apply our results to clique counts in the random geometric graph, intrinsic volumes of Poisson–Voronoi cells, as well as power-weighted edge lengths in the random geometric, k-nearest neighbor and relative neighborhood graph.
- ItemAgent-based simulations for coverage extensions in 5G networks and beyond(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2022) Ghribi, Chaima; Cali, Eli; Hirsch, Christian; Jahnel, BenediktDevice-to-device (D2D) communications is one of the key emerging technologies for the fifth generation (5G) networks and beyond. It enables direct communication between mobile users and thereby extends coverage for devices lacking direct access to the cellular infrastructure and hence enhances network capacity. D2D networks are complex, highly dynamic and will be strongly augmented by intelligence for decision making at both the edge and core of the network, which makes them particularly difficult to predict and analyze. Conventionally, D2D systems are evaluated, investigated and analyzed using analytical and probabilistic models (e.g., from stochastic geometry). However, applying classical simulation and analytical tools to such a complex system is often hard to track and inaccurate. In this paper, we present a modeling and simulation framework from the perspective of complex-systems science and exhibit an agent-based model for the simulation of D2D coverage extensions. We also present a theoretical study to benchmark our proposed approach for a basic scenario that is less complicated to model mathematically. Our simulation results show that we are indeed able to predict coverage extensions for multi-hop scenarios and quantify the effects of street-system characteristics and pedestrian mobility on the connection time of devices to the base station (BS). To our knowledge, this is the first study that applies agent-based simulations for coverage extensions in D2D.
- ItemConnection intervals in multi-scale dynamic networks(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Hirsch, Christian; Jahnel, Benedikt; Cali, ElieWe consider a hybrid spatial communication system in which mobile nodes can connect to static sinks in a bounded number of intermediate relaying hops. We describe the distribution of the connection intervals of a typical mobile node, i.e., the intervals of uninterrupted connection to the family of sinks. This is achieved in the limit of many hops, sparse sinks and growing time horizons. We identify three regimes illustrating that the limiting distribution depends sensitively on the scaling of the time horizon.

- ItemPercolation and connection times in multi-scale dynamic networks(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Jahnel, Benedikt; Hirsch, Christian; Cali, EliWe study the effects of mobility on two crucial characteristics in multi-scale dynamic networks: percolation and connection times. Our analysis provides insights into the question, to what extent long-time averages are well-approximated by the expected values of the corresponding quantities, i.e., the percolation and connection probabilities. In particular, we show that in multi-scale models, strong random effects may persist in the limit. Depending on the precise model choice, these may take the form of a spatial birth-death process or a Brownian motion. Despite the variety of structures that appear in the limit, we show that they can be tackled in a common framework with the potential to be applicable more generally in order to identify limits in dynamic spatial network models going beyond the examples considered in the present work.
