Abstract
In this paper, we model the mobile ad hoc communication network on a two-dimensional square lattice. Both structure and function of it depend on transmission range and site-occupancy of nodes. Critical occupancies σ c for different transmission ranges r to maintain global connection are found. Universal scaling function behaves as η:_ f(R β σ), where |R = (r − r 0)/r 0, and the scaling exponent β = −0.61, which distinguishes itself from percolation in previous lattice or network models. When the occupancy σ is near the threshold σ c , individual nodes self-organize into a dynamic small world network relative to geometric distance. The network has a cut-off degree below which clustering coefficient keeps constant, which distinguish itself from other systems and has its potential application in technical designs.
