title = "Closing the gap in the multicast capacity of hybrid wireless networks",
abstract = "We study the multicast capacity of a random wireless network consisting of n randomly placed ordinary wireless nodes and m regularly placed base stations in a square region, known as a hybrid network. All ordinary wireless nodes have the uniform transmission range r and uniform interference range R=Θ(r) and they can transmit/receive at Wa-bps. Each base station can communicate with adjacent base stations directly with a data rate W B-bps and the data transmission rate between a base station and a wireless node is assumed to be Wc-bps. Assume that there is a random set of ns ordinary wireless nodes that will serve as the source nodes of ns multicast flows (each has randomly selected k-1 receivers). Each flow will have data rate λi bps. We found that the minimum per-flow multicast capacity min ni = 1ns λi for hybrid networks has three regimes, and for each regime we derive matching asymptotic upper and lower bounds. Thus it closes the gap of previous results in the literature.",
