Abstract :
We analyze the capacity scaling laws of clustered ad hoc networks in which nodes are distributed according to a doubly stochastic shot-noise Cox process. We identify five different operational regimes, and for each regime we devise a communication strategy that allows to achieve a throughput featuring the same scaling exponent as the maximum theoretical capacity.
