Outage Duration in Poisson Networks and its Application to Erasure Codes
We derive the probability distribution of the link outage duration at a typical receiver in a wireless network with Poisson distributed interferers sending messages with slotted random access over a Rayleigh fading channel. This result is used to analyze the performance of random linear network coding, showing that there is an optimum code rate and that interference correlation affects the decoding probability and throughput.
