Large Deviations of the Interference in a Wireless Communication Model

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> Interference from other users limits the capacity, and possibly the connectivity, of wireless networks. A simple model of a wireless ad hoc network, in which node locations are described by a homogeneous Poisson point process, and node transmission powers are random, is considered in this paper. A large deviation principle for the interference is presented under different assumptions on the distribution of transmission powers. </para>
