Abstract
This paper introduces and discusses MoHotS and wireless chain networks. The paper proposes integration of unused capacity in hot spots. We discuss the area of coverage and the probability of making connections in wider area wireless networks based on MoHotS. The area of coverage of MoHotS is evaluated for MoHotS on highways. It also addresses the limits of interference in networks of wireless MoHotS and chain networks. It is shown that the interference from other MoHotS converges for large N and is tamed by the path loss exponent. Terrain characteristics are described as well.
