Abstract :
We define the core capacity region of energy-limited wireless ad hoc networks and show that it is non-empty under the linear utility model. The main motivation for this paper is the question: "Can wireless ad hoc networks grow into a single grand wireless network in the future?" We answer this question by developing a framework in which we incorporate the incentives of users into the definition of network capacity.
