【 摘 要 】

This thesis addresses some of the key challenges in the emerging wireless scenario. It focuses on the problems of connectivity, coverage, and wave propagation, following a mathematically rigorous approach. The questions addressed are very basic and extremely easy to state. Their solution, however, can be difficult and leads to the development of a new kind of percolation theory, to a new theorem in geometry, and to a new model of wave propagation in urban environments. The problems are connected together to provide guidelines in the design of wireless networks.
