TL;DR
The paper addresses how to realize a deterministic topology Γ inside the unit square using relay connections from a random geometric graph G(r_n), defining relay RGGs via vertex-disjoint relay paths that connect Γ's endpoints. It develops rigorous conditions on the graph size e_0 and the scaling r_n under which relay RGGs exist and are near-optimal in total length, and it analyzes extremal weights by assigning i.i.d. exponential weights to G's edges, deriving deviation bounds and L^2 convergence for the maximum relay weight W_n. The main theoretical contributions include precise concentration bounds for the minimum relay length L(G,Γ), an edge-count (har) bound bounding the relay path edge count by l_{tot}/r_n, and sharp, high-probability estimates for W_n in terms of δ_n = e_0 L_n log n, along with conditions ensuring convergence. These results provide principled guarantees for relay-based connectivity and throughput in wireless networks with geometric randomness, informing design under uncertain relay availability.
Abstract
In this paper, we consider a deterministic graph~\(Γ\) drawn on the unit square with straight line segments as edges and connect vertices of~\(Γ\) using edges of a random geometric graph (RGG)~\(G\) with adjacency distance~\(r_n\) as relays. We call the resulting graph as a \emph{relay} RGG and determine sufficient conditions under such relay RGGs exist and are also near optimal, in terms of the graph parameters of~\(Γ.\) We then equip edges of~\(G\) with independent, exponentially distributed weights and obtain bounds for the maximum possible weight~\(W_n\) of a relay RGG with a given length~\(L_n.\)
