Link modeling with joint fading and distance uncertainty

— We introduce and discuss a novel link model that incorporates both uncertainty in the fading coefficients and the node distances for ad hoc networks with randomly placed nodes. The main result is the complete distribution of the received power for a transmission between a node and its n-th nearest neighbor. Several applications of the proposed fading model are discussed, including connectivity, opportunistic communication, and localization.
