| Abstract | We present capacity results for three classes of wireless ad hoc networks, using a general framework that allows their unified treatment. The results hold with probability going to 1 as the number of nodes in the network approaches infinity, and under a general model for channel fading.We first study asymmetric networks that consist of n source nodes and around $n^{d}$ destination nodes, communicating over a wireless channel. Each source node creates data traffic that is directed to a destination node chosen at random. When ½ ‹ d ‹ 1, an aggregate throughput that increases with n as $n^{½}$ is achievable. If, however, 0 ‹ d ‹ ½, bottlenecks are formed and the aggregate throughput can not increase faster than $n^{d}.We$ also consider cluster networks, that consist of n client nodes and around $n^{d}$ cluster heads, communicating over a wireless channel. Each of the clients wants to communicate with one of the cluster heads, but the particular choice of cluster head is not important. In this setting, the maximum aggregate throughput is on the order of $n^{d},$ and it can be achieved with no transmissions taking place between client nodes.We conclude with the study of hybrid networks. These consist of n wireless nodes and around $n^{d}$ access points. The access points are equipped with wireless transceivers, but are also connected with each other through an independent network of infinite capacity. Their only task is to support the operation of the wireless nodes. When ½ ‹ d ‹ 1, an aggregate throughput on the order of $n^{d}$ is achievable, through the use of the infrastructure. If, however, 0 ‹ d ‹ ½, using the infrastructure offers no significant gain, and the wireless nodes can achieve an aggregate throughput on the order of $n^{½}$ by using the wireless medium only. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
